Anjou (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ʒu]) is a borough (arrondissement) of the city of Montreal. Prior to its 2002 merger it was an independent city. Although it is no longer an independent city, it is still commonly known as known as Ville d'Anjou.
Geography
The borough is located in the eastern end of the island of Montreal. The borough largely retained its former municipality logo, although the borough's logo is used on fleet vehicles without Montreal's logo. On fleet vehicles, the text reads "Ville de Montréal, arrondissement Anjou."
The borough is bordered to the north and east by Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles, to the south by Mercier—Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Montréal-Est, to the west by Saint Leonard, and at the northwestern corner by Montréal-Nord.
It has an area of 13.7 km² and a population of nearly 42,796.
Features
The borough is traversed by Autoroute 40 (Metropolitan Aut.) exits 80 and 82 located within its borders. Exits 6,7,8, (9 and 10 Northbound only) of Autoroute 25 (Louis-Hippolyte La Fontaine Aut.) are also located in Anjou. Among other attractions, it contains the large Les Galeries d'Anjou shopping mall which is one of the few mega malls located within the city of Montreal.
Federal and provincial elections
The entire borough is located within the federal riding of Honoré-Mercier, and within the provincial electoral district of Anjou–Louis-Riel.
