Port Royal, Nova Scotia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Champlain built the Habitation at Port-Royal in 1605, as a replacement for his initial attempt at colonising Ile-Ste. Port Royal is a small rural community in the western part of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The actual buildings of the Habitation were burnt to the ground in 1613 by an English invasion force from Virginia, but in the 1930s, the site of the Habitation was located and underwent archeological excavation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Port_Royal%2C_Nova_Scotia

Nova Scotia Port Royal travel Bob Fisher A visit to the Port Royal Habitation is enhanced by the costumed interpreters whose skills and knowledge base are as admirable as their craft of evoking life as it was on this spot 400 years ago. Port Royal would not be revived until 1610 when a new agenda would focus on increased settlement and the conversion of native peoples to Christianity, conceptually a quite different form of colonization. Port Royal was a fertile environment and life here was productive and promising – a model of self-sufficiency. www.bobfisher.ca /articles/Legacy.html

Brief History of Port Royal You can visit Port Royal or as it is known locally "The Habitation". Port Royal Park features reconstructed 17th-century buildings representing the former fur-trading post that was located here. While most of the inhabitants of the Port Royal area, settled along the banks of the river, did not take an active part in the military actions, the progress of the colony was delayed a great deal, both durring the French Regime and following the British occupation. users.andara.com /~grose/portroy.html

Habitation at Port-Royal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Habitation was left in the care of Membertou and the local Mi'kmaq until 1610 when Sieur de Poutrincourt, another French nobleman, returned with a small expedition to Port-Royal.

History of Nova Scotia, Bk1, Pt1, Ch4. The Founding of Port Royal. During the summer and fall of 1606, while their friends were on their cruise south, Port Royal was under the direction of L'Escarbot and Louis Hebert, and they and the men under them make a number of improvements to the living arrangements at the habitation. 22 There, at the head of Port Royal (which today we call the Annapolis Basin), under the shelter of the north mountains they build their habitation, a closed quadrilateral dwelling, which has generally been accepted by historians as being the first European settlement, aside from Florida, to be established on the continent of North America. The French, having established themselves at Port Royal, Samuel de Champlain among them, had a pretty good hunch that the St. John River, just across the Bay, would be a wilderness highway down which the Indians might come in the interests of trade with their canoes full of animal pelts. www.blupete.com /Hist/NovaScotiaBk1/Part1/Ch04.htm

History of Nova Scotia, Bk1, Footnotes to Ch4., The Founding of Port Royal. The Canadian government has reconstructed the habitation as an operating museum; and visitors, for a small fee, can now be easily transported back to these early times at Port Royal. With the founding of Port Royal, it might be concluded that fur won out over fish. The ship carried from France live animals so the crew might have fresh meat on occasion; it was at Port Mouton that a sheep leaped over the side, and thus the name. www.blupete.com /Hist/NovaScotiaBk1/Part1/Ch04fn.htm

A Condensed History of Acadia - Gregor's Gathering Port Royal was renamed Annapolis Royal and Acadia reverted back to the name of Nova Scotia (Latin for New Scotland). De Monts named the area Port Royal, thus creating the first European establishment in what is known today as Canada and the United States of America. The French surrender was quick and the English seized Port Royal and held it until 1697 when the war between France and England ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ryswick. www.gregor.ca /Acadia/acadia-main-printable.htm

expulsion.html Although the habitation at Port Royal had some success, it had been all but completely destroyed before 1615. Even the 13 years of British occupation of Port Royal, La Heve and St. John - 1653 to 1667 - had not largely affected the success and prosperity of the Acadian people who had spread out and settled much of what is now Atlantic Canada and Maine. A much more successful attempt to establish a settlement at Port Royal began in earnest in 1632. chiasson.chebucto.org /expulsion.html

fndnf10.txt But Champlain was a leading figure in the hard fight at St Croix and Port Royal; he it was who first charted in any detail the Atlantic seaboard from Cape Breton to Cape Cod; and his narrative joins with that of Lescarbot to preserve the story of the episode. Then Pontgrave decided to return to Port Royal 'to see in what condition our companions were whom we had left there sick.' On their arrival Pontgrave himself was taken ill, but soon re-embarked, though still unwell.

CBC Radio Ideas Features The Order of Good Cheer Isle Sainte Croix was situated just across the big bay with the highest tides in the world from Porte Royale, and very close to the modern border between the Canadian province of New Brunswick and the U.S. State of Maine. During the difficult winter of 1606/1607, in a tiny wooden palisade at Porte Royale, on the Annapolis Basin in Nova Scotia, Samuel de Champlain created what was arguably the very first ‘cooking club’ or ‘food fraternity’ on Canadian soil. In 1606, Samuel de Champlain had established his famous habitation on the fruitful shores of the Bay of Fundy, in the beautiful Annapolis Basin of what would much later become known as Nova Scotia, or New Scotland. www.cbc.ca /ideas/features/cheer/index.html

River Review : A Multidisciplinary Journal of Arts and Ideas Poutrincourt and Champlain had been away from the Habitation on an expedition of exploration since early September and when they arrived at Port Royal on the 14th of November they were greeted by a spectacle written, produced, and directed by Lescarbot. The area around the reconstructed Habitation is now well populated, particularly on the road near Annapolis Royal, and the landscape of private homes and small businesses and farms is unremarkable, a scene that could be observed with slight variations of terrain across late 20th century North America. In 1605 they relocated to the site of Port Royal, on the mainland of what the French would identify as la Cadie or Acadia and what would later be called Nova Scotia. riverreview.umfk.maine.edu /documentsfin/rroot1.htm
