Mahanagar Boys' Inter College was originally known as "Mahanagar Boy's High School" until 1984. In 2007 the name was changed to "Montfort Inter College" due to coming of girl students to the school.

Joji Joseph. In 2015 session, Girls were introduced in the secondary wing as the school would become affiliated to CBSE from July 2015
Mahanagar Boys' Inter College (now known as Montfort Inter College) is situated in the residential colony of Mahanagar, near Gol Market, in the trans Gomti area of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh.
The land of Montfort and of Mahanagar Boys' Inter College was taken possession of by the Catholic Diocese of Lucknow in 1957, its boundaries marked in 1962 and registration done in 1964. The foundation stone of the building was laid by the Bishop of Luck
Principal Bro. Joachim joined the school on 15 June 1959. The complete ground floors of the three units were constructed by 10 July 1959 and were dedicated by the Bishop on 14 July 1959. The school opened on 15 July 1959 with forty students on the rolls in classes III, IV and V of English language and class VI of Hindi language. There were six teachers on the rolls, of whom three were Brothers - Joachim, Ignatius and Patrick.
The institution was listed as a Recognized Junior High School in November 1962. The primary section was accorded recognition with effect from January 1963.
The Directorate of Education put on record its special appreciation for Mahanagar Boys' School and its management for their willingness to accommodate wards of the Defence personnel of the frontline N.E.F.A as well as the refugee children from Assam, consequent to China-India war in 1962. However, since the war came to a speedy end the situation of the North East normalized early, preventing the migration of students to Uttar Pradesh.
The school was permitted to start classes for standard IX on in 1963. The High School (standard IX and X) section was given recognition in 1965. Permission was sought to teach using the English language in addition to Hindi. The permission came on in 1963.
