Monk (subway of Montreal)

Monk is a station on the Green line of the subway of Montreal.

The station shelters several works of Art, in particular the Sculpture Pic and Pelle of Germain Bergeron.

Origin of the name

Several Monk family members occupied a station in the magistrature or took part in the political life, but most known remains Sir James Monk. Named public prosecutor of the province of Quebec in 1776, he became judge subrogated at the Court of Vice-admiralty, then judge as a chief of the legal district of Montreal.

It may be however that the choice of this toponym is explained by the fact why in 1899 the lawyers Frederick D. Monk, Joseph-Ulric Émard and others associated bought the Davidson ground in order to make the allotment of it. They opened a way through this ground and gave him initially the street name Davidson, changed into 1911 for that of Monk Boulevard.
