Origin of the name
This station is named for rue de Cadillac, itself named after Antoine Laumet, dit de La Mothe sieur de Cadillac (1658–1730) — a colourful French explorer of New France who founded Detroit, Michigan and commanded it from 1701 to 1710. Despite his name being pronounced as \ka.di.jak\ in French, the station is pronounced as \ka.di.lak\. The STM has corrected this pronunciation issue as of August 2022 [1].
