Jarry station is a Montreal Metro station in the borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[1] It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Orange Line. The station opened on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the Metro.

Overview

The station, designed by Lemoyne, Bland, Edwards, & Shine, is a normal side platform station, built in tunnel. The mezzanine near the north end is connected to an entrance integrated into the ground floor of an apartment building. The station is known for the diamond-shaped caissons in the ceiling of the transept.

Origin of the name

This station is named for rue Jarry, which in turn commemorates Bernard Bleignier dit Jarry, who received a concession in 1700 that later became the village of Saint-Laurent. The street was built on land that had belonged to Stanislas Bleignier Jarry Sr. a descendant of Bernard Jarry; at the time the street was named in 1907, his son Stanislas Jr. was mayor of the parish municipality of Saint-Laurent, in which the street was located.[2][3] Nearby Jarry Park, however, is named for Raoul Jarry, a Montreal city councillor, son of Stanislas Sr. and brother of Stanislas Jr., who played a role in developing the park.[4]
