Кот-Сен-Люк: История и современность города в Монреале.

Côte Saint Luc (kot sɛ̃ lyk) is a city on the Island of Montreal in Quebec, Canada. It is a mostly residential suburb of Montreal, within which it forms an enclave. The city is primarily English speaking, with a large Jewish community.

Côte Saint Luc, along with Hampstead and Montreal West, forms an enclave within the City of Montreal. Côte Saint Luc itself contains two distinct exclaves that are nestled between Hampstead and Montreal. The larger of the two contains a residential development north of Hampstead and the Decarie Square Mall, while the smaller one consists of fifteen residential buildings along Macdonald Avenue. About a third of Côte Saint Luc's territory is occupied by the Canadian Pacific rail yards.

The area encompassing Côte Saint Luc was first settled in the 18th century, and was incorporated as a village in 1903. Its name may commemorate the 18th century military officer Luc de la Corne Saint Luc. Throughout the 1920s, the town grew quickly and accepted many immigrant populations leaving Montreal, notably German Jewish and British families. Railway development and industrial activities were relocated to the north. An example of this is an old farmhouse, near the intersection of Westminster and Côte Saint Luc, which today is a strip mall. Still, Côte Saint Luc remained a small agricultural community until the mid 20th century. The population grew from 747 residents to over 20,000 between 1940 and the mid 1960s, due to substantial immigration following World War II. It was officially incorporated as a town in 1951, and as a city in 1958. Côte Saint Luc was forcibly merged with the city of Montreal on January 1, 2002. It was amalgamated with its neighbouring suburbs of Hampstead and Montreal West to form the borough of Côte Saint Luc—Hampstead—Montréal Ouest. In a referendum held on June 20, 2004, Côte Saint Luc residents voted to demerge; Côte Saint Luc was re established as a separate city on January 1, 2006.

Côte Saint Luc operates a full time Public Security Department that enforces municipal by laws, and in 2006 launched the Volunteer Citizens on Patrol program that allows residents to help deter crime. Côte Saint Luc also runs the only volunteer EMS first responder system on the island of Montreal, which responds to more than 3,000 calls early. Advanced care and transportation to local hospitals is provided by Urgences santé. In 2008–2009, the Montreal Fire Department implemented an island wide first responder system set to replace the Côte Saint Luc EMS; however, the city fought to keep their system and private member's bill was passed in the National Assembly of Quebec to exclude Côte Saint Luc from the Montreal Fire Department. The city's Eleanor London Côte Saint Luc Public Library was named in honour of Eleanor London, who served as the city's chief librarian for 36 years. The Eleanor London Côte Saint Luc Library is one of few libraries in North America that is open every day of the year. The Cavendish Mall was once the city's central hub, housing stores like Steinberg's, Eaton's and Discus. In recent years, part of the mall has been replaced with single family homes, townhouses and apartment buildings. The Commission scolaire Marguerite Bourgeoys (CSMB) operates two Francophone primary schools in Côte Saint Luc: École de la Mosaïque and École des Amis du Monde. The English Montreal School Board operates a French immersion school, Merton School, John Grant and Mountainview High Schools, and the Marymount Adult Centre. There are a number of private schools in the city, including JPPS–Bialik, Hebrew Academy, École Maïmonide and Yeshiva Yavne.
