Quebec City is also the of Quebec and one of the oldest cities in Canada and North America; did you know it celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2008? To put that in context, Toronto, Canada's largest city, is only about 230 years old.

Jacques Cartier made it up to Quebec during his second trip, you see during this second trip he decided to up the Saint Lawrence River in 1535 and wintered with the Huron village of Stadacona, which is the site of present-day Quebec. However, as I mentioned he was only there for the winter, we would need to wait until 1541 for Jacques Cartier to come back and try his shot at establishing a French colony in the area… however this was a complete failure, and they abandoned this effort just a few years later.
