Quebec Cities with Hotels
All Countries > Canada > Quebec
The word Québec comes from the Algonquian word kebek, meaning "narrows," the term Algonquins used to describe the area around what is now Québec City. The Saint Lawrence River, which is more than 3200 km (2000 miles) long, has long dominated Québec's history and economy. Early explorers sailed up the river seeking a route to Asia. Later, the first settlers clustered around the river bank, where they founded Québec City, one of the oldest cities in North America, in 1608 and Montréal in 1642. The province's important lumbering and manufacturing industries developed along the Saint Lawrence River. "Québec (province)," Microsoft® Encarta® 97 Encyclopedia.
