Molson Brewery
The neighbourhood was originally named "Faubourg Québec" (English: "Quebec suburb") because it is located along the route to Quebec City. In the neighbourhood's later life, it received the nickname it is most commonly associated with today, Le Faubourg à m'lasse. The neighbourhood most likely received its nickname from the sweet smell that came from massive metal barrels containing molasses located near the Molson Brewery and Canadian Rubber plant.
