Topic: Hochelega (village)


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Hochelega (village) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hochelaga was a large fortified village in northeastern North America, on the Saint Lawrence River, inhabited of Iroquoian-speaking people.
The village still existed when Cartier revisited the region, but had disappeared when Samuel de Champlain first arrived on the island.
It is generally believed that the village was abandoned for safety, as this was a time of warfare between the Iroquois, Hurons, and Algonquins.

 [No title]
The city of Hochelega is six miles from the river side, and the road thither is as well beaten and frequented as can be, leading through as fine a country as can be seen, full of as fine oaks as any in France, the whole ground below being strewed over with fine acorns.
In the midst of these cultivated fields the city of Hochelega is situated, near and almost joined to a great mountain, which is very fertile and cultivated all round, to which we gave the name of _Mount Royal_[49].

 Canada's name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Today, the country is not commonly referred to as the 'Dominion of Canada'.
A plausible hypothesis is that the river was named for the village on its banks and the surrounding land for the river used to explore it.
An unsubstantiated but occasionally heard explanation of the name's origin is that Spanish cartographers, not having explored the northern part of the continent, wrote acá nada ("nothing here") on that part of their maps.
