Montreal is a small incorporated city in Iron County in far-northern Wisconsin, about two miles west of the county seat at Hurley on Wisconsin Highway 77. It covers about 2.2 square miles; the 2020 Census counted 801 residents and the Wisconsin DOA estimates 788 as of January 1, 2025, a slow long-run decline. Montreal is unique as the only planned company mining town in Wisconsin: its white 'mining company' houses form the Montreal Company Location Historic District (National Register, 1980), and the Montreal iron mine was the world's deepest iron mine (4,335 feet) when it closed in 1962. Today the 'City Beautiful' markets itself as a four-season recreation center anchored by the Gile Flowage, mine-heritage trails, and the greater Hurley snow-country tourism economy; children attend the Hurley School District.
