THE HISTORICAL SITE
The entrance archway to Gibbys stands on what was once the south bank of the “Saint Pierre River”, near the original Huron settlement of Hochelaga. Visits to the site by the early explorers, Jacques Cartier in 1535, and Champlain in 1611, led to the first permanent settlement by de Maisonneuve in 1641.
In 1833 the river was covered over to allow the construction of St. Anne’s Market. When Montreal was named the capital of the Province of Canada in 1844, the new government rented and remodelled the market to serve as the Parliament Building. In 1849 an angry mob burned the parliament to the ground in response to some unpopular legislation.
