Why did Jacques Cartier name the St Lawrence River the St Lawrence River?
A few summers ago I visited the Silas Wright House, a museum in Canton, New York which is the seat of Saint Lawrence County. One of the exhibits at the Silas Wright House included an account of the voyage of Jacques Cartier in which he discovered the Saint Lawrence River. In this account it stated that, upon discovering the mouth of this vast river, Jacques Cartier turned to the priest he had on board his ship. He asked the priest which Catholic saint's birthday fell closest to the date of his discovery. The priest responded that Saint Lawrence's birthday or feast day was the closest one. Jacques Cartier declared that, because of this, the river should be named after this early Christian Saint.
