Following the signing of the Grande Paix treaty in September 1701, which put an end to the hostilities between the colonists and the Iroquois, the colonization of the Island of Montreal resumed progressively and land clearing operations increased. The land clearers successfully completed Coste Saint-Laurent and settled in the Descarie brothers neighbourhood.

Original concessions

Without waiting for the official signing of the peace treaty, between March and September of 1700 the Sulpicians awarded more than nineteen concessions to these new colonists. These properties formed the core of Saint-Laurent Village. Below is the list of names of these nineteen pioneers and the dates when they received their land.
