Outremont station is a Montreal Metro station in the Outremont borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[3] It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Blue Line. It opened in 1988.

Overview[]

It is a normal side platform station with a mined trainroom and open-cut volume at one end, containing the ticket hall and topped by the one large entrance and a glazed skylight. Classic materials and a mural of glazed ceramics by evoke the architecture of the surrounding neighbourhood, as does a Borough of Outremont lamp post at the foot of the stairs to one platform. On January 10, 2022, Outremont station closed as part of the renovations which will last for seven months. There will be a shuttle bus running from Outremont to Acadie.[4]

Origin of name[]

The station takes its name from the borough (formerly city) of Outremont, in which it is located. Originally named Côte-Sainte-Catherine, the town took its name in 1875 from a mansion, still extant, built in 1833 by Louis-Tancrède Bouthillier and named "Outre-Mont" ("beyond the mountain" from the main settlement of Montreal).
