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).[2]
Bishop Street may be named for George C. Bishop 1837-1910 who built a number of homes in that area in the 1870s. In 1878 he built a stone home on Osborn St. between Mountain and Windsor Streets at the foot of Drummond.
