Samuel de Champlain established two key colonies for France: Quebec in 1608 and Trois-Rivières in 1634. Quebec became the first permanent French settlement in North America and served as a crucial center for fur trade and French colonial expansion. Trois-Rivières was established to enhance French presence in the St. Lawrence River region and further support the fur trade. Both colonies played significant roles in the development of New France.
