Best Answer

France is generally considered to be the first European country to explore, then to stake a formal claim to, the lands along the St. Lawrence River in North America. As early as 1534, a French explorer by the name of Jacques Cartier was sent across the Atlantic Ocean by the French king (Francis I) with the explicit purpose of establishing a French presence in the New World.
