History of Quebec City

Quebec City, capital of the province of Quebec, Canada, is one of the oldest European settlements in North America.
==French rule==
Quebec City was founded by the French explorer and navigator Samuel de Champlain in 1608, commencing a string of French colonies along the St. Lawrence River, creating a region named "le Canada". Prior to the arrival of the French, the location that would become Quebec City was the home of a small Iroquois village called "Stadacona".〔Bumsted, J. M. Canada's Diverse Peoples: A Reference Sourcebook. Santa Barbara, CA: ABC-CLIO, 2003. 35.〕 Jacques Cartier, a French explorer, was the first European to ascend the St. Lawrence Gulf, claiming "le Canada" for France (and the coming addition of a newly founded "l'Acadie" – known today as the Province of Nova Scotia) to create a dominion known as "New France". Jacques Cartier and his crew spent a harsh winter near Stadacona during his second voyage in 1535.〔 The word "Kebec" is an Algonquin word meaning "where the river narrows."〔Conrick, Maeve, and Vera Regan. French in Canada: Language Issues. Oxford: Peter Lang, 2007. 11-12.〕 By the time Champlain came to this site, the Iroquois population had disappeared and been replaced by Montagnais and Algonquins. Champlain and his crew built a wooden fort which they called "l'habitation" within only a few days of their arrival.〔Vallières, Marc. "Québec City." The Canadian Encyclopedia. http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/articles/quebec-city.〕 This early fort and trading post exists today as a historic site in Old Quebec. Quebec City's maritime position and the presence of cliffs overlooking the St. Lawrence River made it an important location for economic exchanges between the Amerindians and the French〔"Quebec, a New French Colony (1608-1755)." Ville De Quebec. http://www.ville.quebec.qc.ca/EN/apropos/portrait/histoire/1608-1755.aspx.〕 In 1620, Champlain built Fort Saint-Louis on the top of Cape Diamond, near the present location of the Chateau Frontenac in the Upper Town.〔 Quebec City's 400th anniversary was celebrated in 2008 and it is the oldest city in North America that has a French-speaking community.〔Canada. Statistics Canada. City of Quebec 1608-2008: 400 Years of Censuses. By Gwenaël Cartier.〕
