[edit] Origin of the name

This station is named for rue Jarry, which in turn commemorates Bernard Bleignier dit Jarry, who received a concession in 1700 that later became the village of Saint-Laurent. The street was built on land belonging to Stanislas Jarry père, a descendant of Bernard Jarry, who was mayor of the village in 1907.
