- Synopsis
- This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: . . . Nationalities and Religions. General statistics--The nationalities of the "Swamp ': --Considering the nether city by belts--The three main elements of our population--The numerical strength and distribution of the foreign element. Some race characteristics noted--Figures relating to religious beliefs--Conclusion. As previously stated, "the city below the hill" has a mixed population. Considered as a whole, the 7670 families therein resident may be classified as follows: --French-Canadian, 3218; IrishCanadian, 2614; British-Canadian, 1596; all others, 242. Thus it will be seen that 42 per cent. of the population (taken by families) is FrenchCanadian; 34 percent. is Irish-Canadian; 21 percent. is BritishCanadian, and 3 per cent is of other nationalities. That portion of the lower city which lies above Notre Dame street and belongs to St. Antoine ward is the home of 4307 families. Its population is thus divided: --The French-Canadians number 2155 families or 50 per cent. ; the British-Canadians number 1079 families or 25 per cent. the Irish-Canadians number 916 families or 21 per cent. , and other nationalities comprise 157 families or 4 per cent. Thus it will be seen that in this part of the ward the French-Canadians form one-half of the population, being equal to all other nationalities combined. Grouping the sections into belts, as has been our custom in previous articles, we find that the strip of sections, Nos. 1 to 10, King S above St. James street, has a population more evenly divided among the various nationalities than any other region. Of the 2183 families here resident, 791 or 36 per cent, are British-Canadian; 659 or 30 per cent. are Irish-Canadian; 628 or 29 per cent. are French-Canadian, and 105 or 5 per cent. belong to other. . .
