| Summary: | The American Presbyterian Church of Montreal which was established in the winter of 1822-23 was founded during a significant period of the city’s history. The conditions which made this period significant did not cause its establishment, but serve as a background for its foundation and later development. Although originally founded as a missionary post in 1642, Montreal’s position at the head of ocean navigation and at the foot of the Great Lake a Basin had made it a major center of the fur trade. At the end of the French Regime, Montreal was only just emerging from the rough and ready conditions that characterized frontier towns. |
