Pointe-Saint-Charles (known locally as simply The Point) is a neighbourhood in the borough of Le Sud-Ouest in city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located between the Saint Lawrence River and the Lachine Canal.
Pointe-Saint-Charles was one of Canada's first industrial slums. The majority of its residents were Irish along with a sizeable English and Scots immigrant population. The neighbourhood is today one of the most ethnically diverse in Canada and in the World. It was an ethnic Irish Catholic enclave, home to many industrial workers in the 19th and 20th centuries.
More recently, the neighbourhood has undergone gentrification. The Montreal Technoparc industrial park opened in 1988 on the site of a former landfill and dump site between the neighbourhood and the river.
