161. Founding of Quebec

In 1608, Samuel Champlain took some colonists up the great River St. Lawrence to establish a new settlement and fur trading post.

This strategic location was at the foot of a great rocky cape on the north shore, which formed a natural fortress barring the way upstream to the interior.
