400th Anniversary First French Settlement
In June 1604,
Samuel de Chaplain together with Pierre du Gua, sieur de Monts explored
the Atlantic coast in an effort to establish the first settlement that
was meant to solidify France's rights to a new settlement in the New
World. On their journey, they sailed into a bay in New Brunswick, they
discovered an island that was in the midst of three rivers and in their
opinion a perfectly strategic site. Later on, sieur de Monts named it
ëIe Sainte-Croix.
