French navigator Jacques Cartier became the first European explorer to discover the St. Lawrence River in present-day Quebec, Canada. Cartier was commissioned in 1534, by King Francis I of France, to explore the northern American lands in search of riches and the rumored Northwest Passage to Asia. He first discovered the inlet to the St. Lawrence River during the 1534 trip, and returned again in 1535 for more exploration. He led another expedition in 1541 in an attempt to colonize the area.
