=Hochelaga.= An Iroquoian town situated, in 1535, on Montreal Island. The site is now covered by the city of Montreal. Cartier visited the town in the year mentioned, and describes it as encircled by a triple row of palisades, with galleries for the defenders. Within stood some fifty large oblong lodges, each housing several families. In 1603, when Champlain visited the place, nothing remained of the town, and Indians of a different stock occupied the island. =Bib.=: Cartier, _Bref récit_, etc.; Parkman, _Pioneers of France_; Fiske, _New France and New England_. =Hocquart, Gilles.= Intendant of New France.
