La Petite-Patrie (French pronunciation: [la pətit patʁi]) is a neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located in the borough of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie.
The area is bounded on the west by Hutchison Street, to the north by Jean Talon Street, to the south by the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks, and to the east by d'Iberville Street.
La Petite-Patrie is named after the novel La Petite Patrie by Claude Jasmin, which was published in 1972 and was adapted into television series (La Petite Patrie) shortly afterward.
Originally a working-class neighbourhood, La Petite-Patrie began to gentrify in the early 21st century.




History


Until the late 19th century, La Petite-Patrie was mainly agricultural, with the exception of limestone quarries, now the location of Père Marquette Park.
The construction of a tramway in 1892 linking downtown to Sault-au-Récollet led to the urbanization of the area, which continued until about 1930. It was still a predominantly-residential neighborhood since the only employment was concentrated along the railway, in the workshops of Montreal, or in the Montreal Street Railway.




Demographics


A report by the Centre de santé et de services sociaux (CSSS) du Cœur-de-l'île, the neighborhood's population consists of:

44% of single parent families,
19% of immigrants (born outside of Canada)
10% unemployed,
36% of people living below the poverty line
The area includes several ethnic communities, including an Italian community, a Vietnamese community and a Latin American community.

La Petite Patrie (French pronunciation: [la pətit patʁi]) is a French Canadian media franchise about coming of age in Montreal, Quebec in the 1940s.
The title and premise are shared by three works: A novel by Claude Jasmin loosely based on his own adolescence and published in 1972, a television situation comedy series broadcast on the national Radio-Canada network from 1974 to 1976, and a graphic novel with story by Claude Jasmin, script by Normand Grégoire, and illustrations by Julie Rocheleau, published in 2015.
The municipal borough in which it the story is set, Rosemont, was officially renamed Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie in honour of the series. The series was reaired in 2023 on Ici ARTV.
La Petite Patrie tells the life of a district of Montreal (Villeray) formed by the quadrilateral of the streets Saint-Denis, Beaubien, St-Hubert and Bélanger shortly after World War II, between 1946 and 1948.
The main character and narrator of the television series is Clément Germain, a 16 year old teenager who lived in this district with his family. Through the memories of Clément, viewers discovered this neighborhood during the years of Duplessis; with its trams, its ice deliverymen, its guénillou and its anglophone Chinese launderer among others. At that time, bread cost 11 cents, Maurice Richard was at the peak of his glory and the Rivoli theatre had not yet been replaced by a Jean-Coutu.
