les Filles du Roi ("The King's Daughters'') were young, unmarried women. They were shipped off to New France (Quebec) between 1663 and 1673 by the French king. He wanted the population of new France to grow and he hoped these girls would get married there and have kids. The goal were to rectify the the French colony's overwhelmingly male population of one woman to six men, and to encourage French soldiers to marry and settle in New France. In return they were given a dowry.
A lot of the women were orphans, or poor. Many were as young as sixteen and some thirteen.
It is unclear how many Filles du Roi there were, but it is often estimated that the total was more than 1.000.

Why were Filles Du Roi called King's Daughters?
The name filles du roi means "the king's daughters". The name "fille du roi" was there to indicate that they were under the safeguard of the king. The Filles du Roi were mostly orphans or abandoned young girls living in France in orphanage or in terrible condition. As it became clear that there was a need to get women to come to New France, to allow for population growth, they were placed under the patronage, or (symbolical) protection of the King. Acting as a protector, he gave them a dowry (not necessarily money) and paid for their trip to New France.
