history

The station opened on October 14, 1966, along with the Place-d'Armes - Henri-Bourassa section of the orange line. Rosemont is part of the basic network of the Montreal Metro. It is named after the Boulevard de Rosemont. This name goes back to the broker Ucal-Henri Dandurand, who bought extensive land for the construction of a marshalling yard on behalf of the Canadian Pacific Railway and released a small remainder for residential construction. He named the resulting settlement Rosemont, after his mother Rose Phillips.
