High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Outremont is a borough (arrondissement) of the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It consists entirely of the former city on the Island of Montreal in southwestern Quebec, Canada. The neighbourhood has been traditionally inhabited largely by Francophones, but is now also home to a large number of Hasidic Jews.A separate city until the 2002 municipal mergers, Outremont is located north of downtown, on the northern side of Mount Royal - its name means "beyond the mountain" although it encompasses Murray Hill (colline d'Outrmont), one of the three peaks that comprise Mount Royal.
