Town of Montreal West

Montreal West (French: Montréal-Ouest) is an on-island suburb in southwestern Quebec (Canada) on the Island of Montreal. On January 1, 2002, as part of the 2002–2006 municipal reorganization in Montreal, Montreal West and the neighboring suburbs of Côte-Saint-Luc and Hampstead were merged into the City of Montreal and became the borough of Côte-Saint-Luc–Hampstead–Montreal West. Following a change of government and a 2004 referendum in which the population voted to de-merge by a wide margin, Montreal West was reconstituted as an independent city on January 1, 2006.
