Map of the Hochelaga Archipelago, Île de la Visitation is between Île de Montréal and Île Jésus
Île de la Visitation is a small island in the Rivière des Prairies , part of the Hochelaga Archipelago , and part of the city of Montreal in Quebec , Canada .
Located within the boroughs of Ahuntsic-Cartierville and Montréal-Nord , the island is the site of the L'Île-de-la-Visitation Nature Park , as well as the remaining buildings of the historic Sault-au-Récollet district.
The island also includes the former hydraulic installations, l'île du Cheval-de-Terre, which is connected to Laval by the Rivière des Prairies generating station , as well as a wooded area left intact along the Rivière des Prairies.
History [ edit ]
Known as Branchereau Island until 1750, Île de la Visitation borrows its name from the parish of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin-Mary which was founded in 1736. In order to control the force of the current, the Sulpician landlords connected the island to the shore by a causeway . Between 1724 and 1726, Simon Sicar, engineer, built the dam and a sawmill near the island. He built a stone mill to grind corn, another for carding wool.
In 1785, the island was surveyed and subdivided.[1]
Over time, the mills have had several owners.
1726-1837: Séminaire de Montréal
1837-1867: Pascal Persillier-Lachapelle & Succession
1867-1872: Basile Piché
1872-1878: M. Ouimet
1878-1883: Wail McGauvran & Tucken
1883-1890: R. Gagnon père et fils
1890-1906: Dominion Leather Board Company
1906-1950: Back River Power Co
1950-1980: Milmont Fibreboards Co
There have been a few kinds of mills over the years.
Maison du Pressoir [ edit ]
The Maison du Pressoir was built in 1806 by Didier Joubert who used it to press apples into cider . It then became a house.
The remains of the stone foundation which served as base for the machine still exist.
