province of East Canada, bordered on the North by the Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, on the East by Labrador, the Strait of Belle Island, and
the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, on the South by New Brunswick, Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, New York, and Ontario, and on the West by Ontario, James Bay, and
Hudson Bay. The Ottawa River forms part of the boundary with Ontario.
Quebec is sometimes called the Storied Province. Quebec became part
of the Canadian Confederation on July 1, 1867, as one of the four original
provinces. The area was first colonized by France and was formally
acquired by Great Britain in the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Most of the inhabitants
of Quebec today use the French language as their main language. in the 1960's
citizens of Quebec made efforts to preserve their French Heritage and to gain more power for their province in relationship to the federal
government. Manufacturing is the leading economic industry in Quebec, with
Montreal as the leading industrial center. The name of the province comes from an Algonquian Indian term which means, "place where the river
narrows," in reference to the Saint Lawrence River.
