Political Subdivisions of Québec
Under French rule, starting in 1604, hundreds of concessions of land, known as seigneuries, were given by the government of New France (Nouvelle-France) to feudal proprietors known as seigneurs. The French word seigneurie has a meaning akin to fief. Not all of these seigneuries were in Québec, which was merely one of the larger parts of New France. A list of all of the seigneuries of New France, with the dates of their foundation, may be found at this link at Wikipedia.fr.
