The first permanent French colony in North America was founded by?

Answer 1

"ACADIA is home to the first permanent French settlement in North America, which was established at Port-Royal in 1604. In 1603 Henry IV, the King of France, granted PIERRE DUGUA, SIEUR DE MONTS, the right to colonize lands in North America between 40º- 60º North latitude. . ."

There were two attempts to establish a colony before Acadia.

"The first French attempt at establishing a colony in the newly explored territory was Fort Caroline (present-day Jacksonville, Florida) in 1564, made by Huguenots René Goulaine de Laudonnière and Jean Ribault. This colony was destroyed the next year by the Spanish from nearby Saint Augustine. The next attempt came in 1598, on Sable Island, southeast of present-day Nova Scotia. This colony went unsupplied, and the 12 survivors returned to France in 1605. The next, and first successful colony, was Acadia, founded in 1604, with the settlement of Saint Croix Island. Settlement of Acadia later centered on Port Royal, now Annapolis."

The French first came to the "New World" as explorers, seeking passage to the Indies and wealth. Major French exploration of North America began under the reign of King Francis I of France. In 1524 or 1525, Francis sent Italian born Giovanni da Verrazano to explore the region between Florida and Newfoundland for a route to the Pacific Ocean. Although he failed to find such a route, Verranzano became the first European to explore much of the Atlantic coast of the United States and Canada. Later, in 1534, Francis sent Jacques Cartier on the first of a series of voyages to explore the coast of Newfoundland and the St. Lawrence River.
