Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) The Founding of New France Jacques Cartier Jacques Cartier, the French navigator, established his country’s claim to present-day Canada through his explorations of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River. Cartier was born in the French seaport town of Saint-Malo and later studied navigation in Dieppe. His early activities remain somewhat murky, but some historians have advanced the idea that he accompanied fishermen to Newfoundland in the 1520s. Other believe that Cartier sailed with Giovanni da Verrazzano on at least one of his voyages of discovery. In any event, Cartier made his first documented voyage to the New World in 1534 under the auspices of Francis I. Enticed by the fabulous wealth being discovered by the Spanish , France hoped to do the same elsewhere in the Americas. Cartier’s ships sailed around the northern tip of Newfoundland and along its western coast into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Cartier landed on the Gaspé Peninsula and formally claimed the area for France. The explorers befriended native inhabitants and received reports from them about the existence of gold and jewels farther inland. On the return voyage to France, Cartier took two Indian boys and a supply of maize, probably the first of that crop to reach Europe. Cartier’s first voyage helped to change the French conception of North America. It had been widely believed that the area’s only value lay in its fisheries. Cartier’s report, however, described fertile lands and the possibility of mineral wealth.

The French Come to the New World Giovanni da Verranzano In 1524 Verranzano explored the New World for France. He searched for a route to the Indies through the continent. Verranzano sailed up and down the East Coast of America looking for a passage that would take him further west. He could not find one so he returned to France. Back to Chart Jacques Cartier In 1534 Cartier tried to find a sea passage to the East Indies through North America. He could not find a river that would take ships west from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Instead he discovered the St. Lawrence River. The St. Lawrence River ended much sooner than Cartier expected. It ended on a high hill which Cartier named Mont Real or King's Mountain in honor of the King of France. Mont Real later became Montreal. Cartier named the area New France and claimed it in the name of the King of France. This discovery opened Canada for Europeans wanting to settle in North America. Cartier took colonists to Cape Rouge near Quebec. The colony was a failure. After this France lost interest in Canada. It would be more than 70 years before another Frenchman came to the mouth of the St. Lawrence River. Back to Chart Samuel de Champlain In 1608 Champlain brought a group of settlers to the area around Montreal. They built a fort and a settlement. Champlain sent out traders to buy furs from the Indians. Champlain made friends with the Hurons. He brought missionaries to live with the Indians. These missionaries built churches. Champlain explored the Great Lakes and discovered Lake Champlain. Champlain was the first to systematically investigate the eastern shores of Canada and the New England coast.

Book #1: Acadia. TOC TOC Chapter 3 - "Early European Explorers" Norwegians though there be very little record of it visited the most northern parts of eastern North America over a thousand years ago. Indeed, maybe before the Norwegians, the Irish paid a visit; or maybe, in classic times, the Greeks. However, what we do know, pretty well for sure, is that the Norsemen first came to Iceland, then as the decades and centuries unfolded they traveled beyond Iceland, to Greenland; and, then again, beyond Greenland to the shores of Baffin Island and Labrador; and then, swinging south, in their frail vessels, down they came along the upper coast of eastern North America. Whatever motivated these northern Europeans to keep extending their northern voyages, and exactly when they might have made them, are further matters on which we are obliged to speculate. Was it for timber? Was it new lands for splintered clans? Whatever the extent of their explorations and the timing of them, it is believed that any settlements of the Norsemen were but of a temporary kind and that they made no great impact or contribution to the exploration of North America. Before we deal with such known explorers as Cabot and Cartier, we must acknowledge the thousands of seafaring men, who, in the process of making a living, came to the shores of America, especially those that are washed by the waters that flow over the great fishing banks of the northwestern Atlantic. Discovery, like everything else in life, is an evolutionary process and one voyage by one family was built upon the knowledge gained on a previous voyage of another family member; only slowly did the Europeans become aware of their courses and their objectives that lie to the east over the ocean.

Before sailing, his men took an oath that they would "behave themselves truly and faithfully in the service of the Most Christian King." Jacques' name was made immortal by the faithfulness with which he and his men carried out that oath. Jacques Cartier treated native Americans with more kindness than many other colonists and explorers.

Volunteering French Explorers - Cartier, Champlain, and La Salle While the English were concentrating on a northwest passage to Asia, the French King, Francois I commissioned Jacques Cartier (born in 1491) to find a way west to the Pacific and claim new lands for France. Cartier's expedition set sail from the port of St. Malo in [1534] with two ships. After passing Newfoundland, Cartier discovered the mouth of the St. Lawrence River in present-day Canada. On his second voyage in 1535, Cartier with the help of Indian guides explored the St. Lawrence River and passed the future sites of present-day Quebec and Montreal. He sailed back to France in 1536 after he and his crew suffered from scurvy and extreme cold. By 1541, King Francois was committed to settle in the new lands discovered by Cartier. With wars raging in Europe, the French eventually lost interest in the New World. But Frenchmen followed Cartier's route up the St. Lawrence to establish a lucrative trade network with the Indians. Cartier was followed by countrymen Samuel de Champlain and Sieur de La Salle.

The first to explore for them was an Italian named Verrazano. In 1534, a young Frenchman name Cartier took the standard for his countrymen and led the way across the ocean to the New World. Born in 1491, in the seacoast town of St. Malo, Jacques was sent to Dieppe to receive his education as a navigator. When King Francis I wanted to send an expedition to North America to look for a short route to Asia, he chose Cartier. Some people believe that he even accompanied Verrazano on his expedition. In 1534, Cartier left France to discover what he could of the New World. His two ships arrived after only 20 days of sailing. They immediately began exploring the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Anticosti Island, and the Gaspe Peninsula. While in the Gaspe region, the ships were approached by approximately 50 canoes filled with Micmac Indians. They appeared to be friendly, and the two groups met again the next day to trade and celebrate their new friendship.
