Québec City

Some History…

Samuel de Champlain

(1567-1635)

-In 1608, he founded Quebec City at the “Point of Quebec” a formerly abandoned colony.

-Also helped establish French trading power in North America, specifically in the fur business.

Location…

-Québec City was founded on a strategic location of the St. Lawrence River.

British Control

Becoming a destination…

-Because of the St. Lawrence River, Quebec City was mainly a stop for sailors and a place of port business.

-Once most business moved to Montreal, Quebec City fell upon hard times, which ultimately led to massive remodeling and clean up of the city in the mid-twentieth century for tourism.
