West Island

Canada

West Island, a region of the Montreal urban agglomeration, shares 92 connections with 1347 places across 15 topics, spanning nature, transportation, sports, and history. Connections overlap most broadly with Canada and most closely with Montreal, Quebec and Quebec province. The Morgan Arboretum and Ecomuseum Zoo preserves one of the last old-growth examples of Eastern Great Lakes lowland forest on-island. Early history traces to seigneurial land grants of 1636 and 1678, while highways 20, 40, and 13 have concentrated industrial activity across the region in recent decades.
