The area around the 16th-century French settlement was known as "New France." This territory included parts of present-day Canada and the United States, specifically areas around the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes, and down into the Mississippi River valley. The French established several settlements, the most notable being Quebec, which became the capital of New France. The region was characterized by its fur trade and interactions with Indigenous peoples.
