context_page_description: Outremont is a residential borough of the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It consists entirely of the former city on the Island of Montreal in southwestern Quebec. The neighbourhood is inhabited largely by Francophones, and is home to a Hasidic Jewish community.
context_section_description: The area was originally known as Côte Sainte-Catherine. It came to be named Outremont after the country residence built by Louis-Tancrède Bouthillier in 1833 that he named Outre-Mont. In 1875, the new Village of Outremont was named after the house, which still exists today on Rue McDougall.
  In 1927, Outremont became the first place in the world to use a snow blower to clear its streets in the winter. It was the first production model of Canadian inventor Arthur Sicard's Sicard Industries.
  Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau was born and raised in Outremont.
