1608 - Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec City

In 1608, Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec City as the first permanent settlement in what is now Canada.

Quebec City was the first French settlement in North America, and soon became the capital of New France.

The settlement of Quebec City gave the French a foothold in the fur trade, which quickly made it the most important port in the region.

In 1759, the British captured Quebec City after a long battle, signaling the beginning of British rule in Canada.

The British victory in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham established the British as the dominant power in the region.

The British also enacted the Quebec Act of 1774, which granted French Canadians religious and political autonomy.

The Quebec Act helped to maintain the French language and culture in Canada, and is seen as a cornerstone of French-Canadian identity.
