what is the golden square mile?
The Golden Square Mile (French: Le Mille Carré Doré) or more simply the “Square Mile” is the nostalgic name given to a small neighbourhood developed principally between 1850 and 1930 at the foot of Mount Royal, in the west-central section of downtown Montreal, Canada. In its day, those who lived there and Montrealers alike, referred to the area as ‘Uptown’ or ‘New Town’.[1] It was only from the 1930s that Montrealers began to refer to it as the “Square Mile”. The addition of ‘Golden’ was a comparatively modern twist, added from the 1950s by Montreal’s real estate brokers, but this was long after its golden era had passed.
