few scots came to quebec (then new france) before the seven years' war. those who did blended in with the french population. perhaps the first scot to settle was abraham martin dit l'écossais (1589-1664), who by the year 1800 had 7,765 married descendants among the french-speaking population.









































in 1763, the french population of quebec was approximately 55,000 when france handed it over to great britain under the terms of the treaty of paris (1763) that ended the french and indian war.

the population of the island of the montreal during french rule consisted of both native peoples and the french. when the first census was conducted in the colony in 1666, the french population was 659 with an estimated native population of 1000. according to the sources, this was the only point when the native population was higher than the french population on the island of montreal. by 1716, the french population had grown to 4,409 people while the native population was 1,177. the french population of montreal began slowly through immigration. in 1642 a party of 50 frenchmen representing the societe de notre dame de montreal pour la conversion des sauvages de la nouvelle france set foot on the island that the compagnie des cent associes donated. the initial settlement had 150 individuals in the first ten years; few remained for long because the site of montreal was vulnerable to iroquois attacks. immigration to montreal increased thereafter; between 1653 and 1659, 200 persons arrived. eventually approximately 1200 to 1500 immigrants settled on the island of montreal between 1642 and 1714; 75% remained and half of them came before 1670. immigrants came from different regions of france: 65 percent of the immigrants were rural; 25 percent of the immigrants were from the largest cities of france; 10 percent from smaller urban communities.
