Marché Atwater
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atwater Market (French: marché Atwater) is a farmers' market located in the Saint-Henri area of the borough Le Sud-Ouest in Montreal. It opened in 1933.
Located in a notable Art Déco building, it is located on Atwater Avenue, near the Lachine Canal and the Lionel-Groulx Metro station, as well as Greene Avenue. A pedestrian bridge, which can also be used by bicycles, connects the market to Saint-Patrick Street and to a bicycle path in Pointe-Saint-Charles on the other side of the Lachine Canal.
[edit] Origin of the name
This market is named for Atwater Ave., named for Edwin Atwater (1808–1874), a municipal alderman of the district of Saint-Antoine. The street was named for him in 1871.
