Montegul (Myrish: Montegul) (Ziibwingon: Bekweneseg) (Salish: Montegul) is the 10th most populous city in Onaway, and the most populous city in the Onawean chiefdom in Osdemo. The city was founded in 1601 formally by Otto Rohde, although it is believed the early explorer Steen Rasmussen also set up camp at the site. The city was originally dubbed Fjellen av Gull or The Mountain of Gold after Mount Gull, an isolated hill located in the center of the city. The city is centered along the river bank of the Bekenesweg River, which got its name from the now dissolved Myrish colony of Elven-av-Trine just north of Montegul. The city is located 406.13 kilometers from the capital of Onaway, Agogibing. The suburbs of the city are also partially located within its neighboring chiefdom, Genesi.

In 1610, the city has a population of approximately 502,378, with a population of 612,483 within the urban conglomeration. Myrish is the city's official language and in 2016 was the native language of 53.8% of the population, while 30.2% of the population spoke Salish at home. 16% of the population spoke a language other than Salish or Myrish at home. The city is home to one of the largest Myrish diasporas in the world. In the larger Montegul Census Metropolitan Area, 65.8% of the population spoke Myrish at home, compared to 15.3% who spoke Salish. Montegul is one of the most bilingual cities in Onaway, with over 59% of the population able to speak both Myrish and Salish.
