Montreal is a city in Iron County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 807 at the 2010 census. The neighborhood of Gile is part of the city; however, it still has its own post office and ZIP code: 54550. Like Gile, the former unincorporated community of Germania has also been annexed by the city.




History


Montreal was originally incorporated as the Village of Hamilton, on or about 1917, and was the first village formed in Iron County.
Montreal, as it was named upon its incorporation as a city on April 1, 1924, was named for the Montreal Mining Company, which had several iron ore mines in the area during the late 1800s. During the early 1900s, miners settled near the mine shaft and leased the land from the mining company. However, in 1918, in order to retain workers, the company initiated a program that rented pre-fabricated homes to miners. The Montreal Company Location Historic District, which includes several of these company town houses, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as a national example of industrial community planning. The ore deposits left from Montreal's mining days can still be seen from Wisconsin Highway 77.
An area iron mine operated by Oglebay Norton Corporation was, at the time of its closing in 1962, the deepest iron mine in the world, with a vertical depth of 4,335 feet (1,321 m).
