Champlain founds Port Royal
Port-Royal National Historic Site features a reconstruction of early 17th-century buildings. The buildings represent the French colony that was located on the coast of Nova Scotia.
After a short time in France, Champlain returned to Canada and helped found a colony in Port Royal, Nova Scotia (1605).
Samuel Champlain visits the site of the Plymouth
PlantationThis map was drawn
by Samuel de Champlain when he visited the Plymouth area in 1606. It shows the area has been cleared except for a few scattered trees. He pictured native dwellings with their gardens around the harbor. The only two points which show groves of trees are the two points of land at the harbor entrance. The remainder of the land area had been cleared for habitation and gardens.
Champlain founds QuebecIn 1608, Champlain led 32 colonists to settle Quebec in order to establish it as a fur-trading center. Only nine colonists survived the first bitter winter in Quebec, but more settlers arrived the following summer.
