Detailed explanation-1: -Champlain established trading companies that sent goods, primarily fur, to France, and oversaw the growth of New France in the St. Lawrence River valley until his death, in 1635. Many places, streets, and structures in northeastern North America today bear his name, most notably Lake Champlain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Champlain established the first permanent trading post on the site of Quebec City in 1608. He encouraged farm settlement against the protests of the fur traders who wanted exclusive use of the territory.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1602 or thereabouts, Henry IV of France appointed Champlain as hydrographer royal. Aymar de Chaste, governor of Dieppe in Northern France, had obtained a monopoly of the fur trade and set up a trading post at Tadoussac.
Detailed explanation-4: -Samuel de Champlain found the French colony of Quebec on the St. Lawrence River. In 1603 Samuel de Champlain returned to establish a fur trading post, which was very important to the French because trading beaver fur made the French rich.
Detailed explanation-5: -He would sail alongside his uncle in his early career, but soon he would launch expeditions on behalf of King Henry IV. While previous French explorers and colonists had come before Champlain, Champlain proved to be the most successful.
