Côte-des-Neiges is part of the borough of Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. It is Montreal’s most populous and most ethnically and culturally diverse neighbourhood. In 1862, the village of Côte-des-Neiges adopted the name by which it is known today. The village was split in half in 1889 and by 1910, both halves had merged with the city of Montreal. It was also around this time that a number of hospitals opened their doors in the area. Today, Côte-des-Neiges is recognized for its well-regarded educational institutions: the Université de Montréal and its affiliates, HEC and Polytechnique, as well as the Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf and Collège Notre-Dame.

It is Montreal’s most populous and most ethnically and culturally diverse neighbourhood.

Better known by its initials NDG, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce is a neighbourhood in the borough of Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. One of its earliest inhabitants, Jean Descarries, settled in the area back in 1650. The Décarie expressway, which crosses Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, is named after him. The Décarie family has certainly made its mark locally; Daniel-Jérémie Décarie served as mayor of NDG from 1877 to 1904. In 1908, just two years before merging with the city of Montreal, the very first tram line was built in NDG, bringing not only a new mode of transportation but also a new era of development.
