Who settled Quebec?

Answer 1

Samuel De Champlain

================

The first European on record as having "discovered" Québec was Jacques Cartier. He claimed Québec for France at Gaspé in 1534, long before Champlain was born. Cartier spent two winters near present-day Québec City on his voyages in 1535-36 and 1541-42.

The actions of the people of the First Nations, however, made it clear that they had already traded with Europeans, so it is likely that we will never know which European was first to "discover" Québec.

Answer 2

Jacques Cartier claimed what is now Montreal and Quebec City for France in the 16th century, but did not attempt to colonize the area. Samuel de Champlain would later establish a fur trading post on the Island of Montreal.

Answer 3

This is lost to the mists of time. The first people in the region of present day Quebec were the tribes of the Abenaki, Algonquin, Attikamek, Eastern Cree, Huron, Inuit, Maliseet, Micmac, Mohawk, Montagnais, Naskapi, and the Ojibway. Quebec is actually a Micmac word for strait.

The first Euro settlement on the site was the fort built by Jacques Cartier's expedition in 1535. While it is one of the earliest settlements by Europeans in the Americas, it is still unlikely that Cartier was the first to set foot there.

The modern city of Quebec was establish 3 July 1698 by Samuel de Champlain on the site of an abandoned Iroquois settlement, Stadacona.
