Explorers and Early Settlement

The first Europeans to reach Canada were the Vikings, who landed at L'Anse aux Meadows in 1000 AD, dubbing the region Vinland. Among notable explorers, Leif Erikson is recognized as the first European lander, followed by John Cabot in 1497, sent to find a trade route to Asia. A gap existed until explorers like Jacques Cartier arrived in 1534, aiming for wealth and establishing contact with First Nations. Samuel de Champlain furthered these efforts by founding a successful colony in 1605. The quest for treasure and new settlements shaped Canada’s early history.
