It is an important port city because it connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes. It has also made its name known to the world with its cultural and artistic events.
The fact that it hosts 4 universities together with McGill University, which is considered one of the best universities in the world, ensures that the city has a very young population. The people of Montreal are very friendly and helpful.The Montreal name emerged when a French sailor named Jaques Cartier named Mont-Royal, which means the royal mountain on the hill he climbs on. The name of the hill has become the name of the city after a while.
