Don-de-Dieu, the name given by Samuel de Champlain to the site of present-day Quebec City, was established as a French settlement in 1608. At the time of its founding, the population was relatively small, consisting mainly of Champlain and about 28 settlers. This group included soldiers, artisans, and other individuals tasked with establishing and maintaining the colony. The population grew over time as more settlers arrived.
