Who discovered the St Lawrence River?
Cartier discovers St. Lawrence RiverFrench navigator Jacques Cartier becomes the first European explorer to discover the St. Lawrence River in present-day Quebec, Canada.In 1534, Cartier was commissioned by King Francis I of France to explore the northern American lands in search of riches and the rumored Northwest Passage to Asia. That year, Cartier entered the Gulf of St. Lawrence by the Strait of Belle Isle, explored its barren north coast for a distance, and then traveled down the west shore of Newfoundland to Cape Anguille. From there, he discovered Magdalen and Prince Edward islands, explored Chaleur Bay, and claimed Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula for France. He then discovered the inlet of the St. Lawrence River, sailed north to Anticosti Island, and then returned to Europe.Previously thought to be a barren and inhospitable region, Cartier's discoveries of the warm and fertile lands around the Gulf of St. Lawrence inspired Francis I to dispatch him on a second expedition in 1535. On this voyage, he ascended the St. Lawrence to the native village of Hochelaga, site of the modern-day city of Montreal. On his return voyage to France, he explored Cabot Strait along the southern coast of Newfoundland. Cartier led a final expedition to the region in 1541, as part of an unsuccessful colonization effort. His extensive geographical discoveries formed the basis of France's claims to the rich St. Lawrence Valley in the 17th century.

Why do most people in Quebec have French ancestors?
Initially, French explorers found the St. Lawrence river and claimed Canada for France. They developed a territory known as New France in the new country. Samual de Champlain explored and with Jesuit missionaries settled the present St. Lawrence River valley. The Jesuits were attempting to Christianize the Native tribes in and around the Maritimes and Quebec. French traders were always cognisant to get permission from local Native tribes before setting up trading posts and for that and other reasons were allowed to spread their trading circles quite wide. Many French peasants came over to New France with a promise of land. As a result, modern Quebec is a result of French colonization.
