History
The electoral district of Papineau was created in 1947 from parts of the Hochelaga, Mercier, St. James and Saint-Denis ridings.
The riding was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed between the Papineau—Saint-Michel, Rosemont and Saint-Denis ridings.
In 2003, a new "Papineau" riding was created from parts of the Papineau—Saint-Michel riding.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.”
—Richard M. Nixon (b. 1913)
“Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
