France settled large portions of the New World by creating five colonies in Canada, Acadia, Hudson Bay, Newfoundland, and Louisiana. Together, these colonies, known as New France, reached their peak in 1712, at which time New France stretched from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains, and from the Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. France left its greatest mark on the area known as "Lower Canada." Today, the residents of the Province of Quebec still maintain their French culture, heritage and language. Many cities and towns in North America with names like St. Louis, Sault Ste. Marie, Detroit, Cadillac, Champaign, Des Plaines, Joliet, Prairie du Chien, Decatur, Fontaine, and Baton Rouge, through the Great Lakes and down the Mississippi River, still bear French names and many English-speaking Americans either have French surnames or can trace their ancestry back to many early French-speaking Americans.
