In 1608, Samuel Champlain took some colonists up the great River St.

Lawrence to establish a new settlement and fur trading post.

He founded France's first permanent Canadian colony, which he named Quebec—an indigenous word meaning: where the river narrows.

This strategic location was at the foot of a great rocky cape on the north shore, which formed a natural fortress barring the way upstream to the interior.
