An der Spitze jener Klippe, auf der das heute Quebec steht, waren schon lange vor der Ankunft der Kolonisatoren eingeborene Irokesen ansässig. Die erste europäische Siedlung stammt aus dem Jahre 1608 und geht auf Samuel de Champlain zurück, der hier einen Posten für den Pelzhandel errichten ließ. Mit dem Jahr 1663 wurde Neufrankreich zur königlichen Provinz, die von einer Kanzlei verwaltet wurde, die direkt der Krone unterstand und der königlichen Kanzlei in Frankreich Rechenschaft ablegen musste. Die fortwährenden Streitigkeiten zwischen den Erzfeinden England und Frankreich in Europa griffen auch auf die Kolonien über und führten zu den beeindruckenden Festungsanlagen, die im heutigen Quebec zu bestaunen sind. Mit dem Siebenjährigen Krieg ging die Stadt von den Franzosen an die Engländer über. Nachdem die Engländer 1775 einen Angriff der Amerikaner erfolgreich abwehren konnten, folgte für Quebec ein vergleichsweise ruhiges Jahrhundert, in dem es sich vor allem als ein Zentrum für den Schiffsbau und den Holzhandel hervortun konnte.
