History
The origin of the name Bishop Street is uncertain, but is known to be linked to the Anglican community. In 1887, it was named "Bishop Street", perhaps named for the first Anglican bishop of Montreal, Francis Fulford (1803-1868), whose first residence was located on the corner of Dorchester Street (today René Lévesque Boulevard).
