Quebec is a province in the central part of Canada. It was founded in the Royal Proclamation of 1763. It is the largest province by area and the second largest by administrative division. It is surrounded by Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, and the U.S. States, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York.
The majority of the population in Quebec speak French, which is the only province in Canada that has that as its official language.
Samuel de Champlain chose the name Quebec in 1608, for the colonial outpost that would be used for the administrative seat for the French colony New France.
The word "Quebec" comes from Algonquin word meaning "Where the river narrows." It referred to the area around Quebec City where the Saint Lawrence River narrows into a cliff-lined gap.
