Rosemont is a station on the Orange Line of the Montreal Metro rapid transit system, operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM).

Overview

The station, designed by Duplessis, Labelle et Derome, is a normal side platform station, built in tunnel. It has a ticket barrier at transept level leading to a single entrance adjacent to a bus loop and a municipal parking lot.

Origin of the name

This station is named for boulevard Rosemont, the main street of the Rosemont district. This area was developed on an area purchased by land speculators Ucal-Henri Dandurand and Herbert Holt from the Canadian Pacific Railway; it was incorporated as the Village of Rosemont in 1915, named by Dandurand in honour of his mother, née Rose Phillips.
