In 1666, the six largest places in New France included Quebec City, the capital and a major center for trade and administration; Trois-Rivières, strategically located for fur trade; Montreal, a growing settlement that would become a key hub; and the agricultural regions along the St. Lawrence River. Other notable areas included the Acadian settlements in present-day Nova Scotia and the mission settlements in the Great Lakes region. These locations were pivotal for the French colonial economy and cultural exchange.
