==Name==
According to the Commission de toponymie du Québec, the street is named for Mount Royal. A 1761 map by Journain de la Brosse shows a trail at the location of the current street called ''Chemin des Sauvages de la Montagne''. It is also found under the name ''Chemin de la Montagne'' in later maps, such as the map by surveyor Jean Péladeau in 1778.〔(Commission de toponymie du Québec: Rue de la Montagne )〕
There is an urban legend that it was named after Jacob Mountain, first Anglican bishop of Quebec, or his son Bishop George Jehoshaphat Mountain. However, Jacob Mountain was neither the bishop nor resident in Quebec until 1793, long after the creation of maps bearing the name ''Chemin de la Montagne''.
