Quebec City, founded by Samuel Champlain, was already a thriving Indian village called Stadacona. Its strategic location, several miles upriver from the large Ile d'Orleans, appealed to Champlain. The name QUEBEC is of Indian origin and means "where the river narrows." A look at the topography shows the St. Lawrence River narrowing to approximately one kilometer at Quebec City as compared to the mouth of the mighty river at the Gaspe Peninsula where it is 480 kilometers across.
