Main article: History of Montreal. See also: Timeline of Montreal history. Evidence demonstrates that First Nations. Native people occupied the island of Montreal as early as 4,000 years ago. By the year AD 1000, they had started to cultivate maize.

Within a few hundred years, they had built fortified. An ethnicity distinct from the Iroquois. Then based in present-day New York, established the village of Hochelaga. At the foot of Mount Royal two centuries before the French arrived. Archeologists have found evidence of their habitation there and at other locations in the valley since at least the 14th century. The French explorer Jacques Cartier. Visited Hochelaga on October 2, 1535, and estimated the population of the native people at Hochelaga to be "over a thousand people". Seventy years later, the French explorer Samuel de Champlain. Reported that the St Lawrence Iroquoians and their settlements had disappeared altogether from the St Lawrence valley. This is believed due to outmigration, epidemic of European diseases, or intertribal wars. In 1611 Champlain established a fur. On the Island of Montreal. On a site initially named La Place Royale. At the confluence of Petite Rivière and St. Lawrence River, it is where present-day Pointe-à -Callière.

Then 30, to lead a group of colonists to build a mission on his new seigneury. The colonists left France in 1641 for Quebec, and arrived on the island the following year. On May 17, 1642, Ville-Marie was founded on the southern shore of Montreal island, with Maisonneuve. The settlement included a chapel and a hospital, under the command of Jeanne Mance. By 1643, Ville-Marie had already been hit by Iroquois raids.

In the spring of 1651, the Iroquois attacks became so frequent and so violent that Ville-Marie thought its end had come. Maisonneuve made all the settlers take refuge in the fort.

By 1652, the colony at Montreal had been so reduced that he was forced to return to France to raise 100 volunteers to go with him to the colony the following year. If the effort had failed, Montreal was to be abandoned and the survivors re-located downriver to Quebec City. Before these 100 arrived in the fall of 1653, the population of Montreal was barely 50 people. By 1685, Ville-Marie was home to some 600 colonists, most of them living in modest wooden houses.

Ville-Marie became a centre for the fur trade. And a base for further French exploration. In 1689, the English-allied Iroquois attacked Lachine. On the Island of Montreal, committing the worst massacre in the history of New France. By the early 18th century, the Sulpician Order.

To encourage French settlement, they wanted the Mohawk to move away from the fur trading post at Ville-Marie. They had a mission village, known as Kahnewake. South of the St Lawrence River. The fathers persuaded some Mohawk to make a new settlement at their former hunting grounds north of the Ottawa River. In 1745 several Mohawk families moved upriver to create another settlement, known as Akwesasne. All three are now Mohawk reserves in Canada. The Canadian territory was ruled as a French colony until 1760, when it was surrendered to Great Britain after the Seven Years' War.

Self portrait of W H Bartlett, from the cover of his book Working A Canoe Up A Rapid. William Henry Bartlett (March 26, 1809 â September 13, 1854) was a British artist, best known for his numerous steel engravings.

Bartlett was born in Kentish Town. He was apprenticed to John Britton. (1771â1857), and became one of the foremost illustrators of topography of his generation. He travelled throughout Britain, and in the mid and late 1840s he travelled extensively in the Balkans. He made four visits to North America between 1836 and 1852. In 1835, Bartlett first visited the United States to draw the buildings, towns and scenery of the northeastern states. The finely detailed steel engravings Bartlett produced were published uncolored with a text by Nathaniel Parker Willis. As American Scenery; or Land, Lake, and River: Illustrations of Transatlantic Nature. American Scenery was published by George Virtue. In London in 30 monthly installments from 1837 to 1839. Bound editions of the work were published from 1840 onward. In 1838 Bartlett was in the Canadas producing sketches for Willis' Canadian scenery illustrated , published in 1842.

Drawings the exact size to be engraved. His engraved views were widely copied by artists, but no signed oil painting by his hand is known.

Engravings based on Bartlett's views were later used in his posthumous History of the United States of North America , continued by Bernard Bolingbroke Woodward. Returning from his last trip to the Near East. Bartletts primary concern was to render "lively impressions of actual sights", as he wrote in the preface to The Nile Boat (London, 1849). Many views contain some ruin or element of the past including many scenes of churches, abbeys, cathedrals and castles, and Nathaniel Parker Willis described Bartlett's talent thus: "Bartlett could select his point of view so as to bring prominently into his sketch the castle or the cathedral, which history or antiquity had allowed".
