Québec City’s trip


Québec City was under French rule between 1608 and 1759, except for the period between 1627 and 1632, when the Kirke brothers controlled the city.
The Recollets, who were the colony's first missionaries, arrived in 1615. They were soon followed by the Jesuits in 1635, then the Ursulines and Augustines in 1639. The latter two, both orders of nuns, are still active today (see the section «Religious»).
After having founded the Séminaire de Québec in 1663, Mgr François de Laval became the first bishop of the newly created diocese of Québec in 1674.
Built between 1748 and 1750, the New Barracks was the largest building constructed in New France at the time.
In 1759, the famous battle of the Plains of Abraham would alter the course of the colony's history that had been, until then, relatively uneventful. The English won the battle and took control of the city, then later the colony. The following year, France signed the Treaty of Paris, thus transferring ownership of New France to England and putting an end to the Seven Year War.
In 1775-1776, American troops tried, and failed, to capture Québec City. The Constitutional Act of 1791 divided the "Province of Québec" into Upper and Lower Canada and designated Québec City as the capital of Lower Canada.
.


In 1841, the Union Act united the two Canadas. Over a period of a few years, different Canadian cities played the role of national capital, including Québec City. Even today, Québec City is still referred to in French as the «Vieille capitale», which means former capital. Following the adoption of the British North America Act in 1867, Québec City became the capital of the province of Québec. Be sure to visit the Parliament Building, built between 1877 and 1886, as well as the promenade des Premiers-Ministres overlooking boulevard René-Lévesque
