Governors General of New France AD 1663 - 1763 The old governorship was divided in 1663, when the French king, Louis XIV, took over the administration of New France from the Compagnie des Cent-Associés. Responsibility for finance, justice, and the police was handed to a new position, the intendant. Control over diplomatic relations and military affairs was given to the new governor general, who held office in Quebec City. During the century of its existence, New France reached its greatest extent, reaching from Newfoundland to the Gulf of Mexico via the later American Midwest.
1663 - 1665	Augustin de Mesy	First governor general of New France.
1665 - 1672	Daniel de Courcelle
1665 - 1672	De Courcelle establishes the first militias in New France, which will become an essential element in the wars against the British. He also negotiates with several of the native tribes to secure the colony some peace, and approves an expedition to the west in order to find the long-sought after land passage to China.
1673	Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet travel along the Mississippi, documenting the native villagers. They are the first Europeans to enter the region. René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, explored the Great Lakes, the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico, and claimed the entire Mississippi basin for New France
1672 - 1682	Louis de Buade de Frontenac
1682 - 1685	Joseph-Antoine de La Barre
1685 - 1689	Jacques-Rene de Brisay de Denonville
1689	Denonville arrives with intentions of having a great effect on the colony for the glory of France. The colony has been continually hampered in its efforts to expand by the hostile attentions of the Iroquois, so after capturing British fur trader posts on Hudson Bay he marches against them, captures their leaders to be shipped to France as slaves, and lays waste to the lands of the Seneca. Retribution is swift, with the Iroquois destroying farms and burning towns. The violence ends with the Massacre of Lachine in which the town of that name is burned to the ground. Twenty-four colonists are killed and another hundred or so are captured, many of them to be burned alive and even eaten. Louis de Buade, comte de Frontenac is selected by the king to regain control in the beleaguered colony, and for a while he does, until ships from the British colonies in New England arrive in 1690.
1689 - 1698	Louis de Buade de Frontenac	Second term.
1691	Due to the threat of French encroachment from Louisiana, New Spain establishes its first presence in Texas, although these early missions quickly fail. King William's War (1690-1697) sees Acadia captured by the British, but it is returned as part of the peace settlement.
1698 - 1703	Louis-Hector de Calliere	Governor of Montreal (1684-1698).
1699	A colony is founded at Fort Maurepas, which is also known as Old Biloxi (now Ocean Springs in the state of Mississippi), the first in this territory.
1702	The first European settlement in what will become Alabama is founded by the French at Mobile.
1702 - 1713	Acadia is recaptured by the British during Queen Anne's War and this time it remains in British hands, as confirmed by the Treaties of Utrecht in 1713, becoming part of the British Colonies territory of Nova Scotia. New France itself is split into five colonies which each have their own administrative bodies: Acadia, Canada, Hudson Bay, Louisiana, and Newfoundland.
1703 - 1725	Philippe de Rigaud de Vaudreuil
1716	New missions are established by New Spain in Texas to create a buffer zone between it and the French possession of Louisiana. These are followed in 1718 by the first European settlement in Texas, at San Antonio.
1726 - 1747	Charles de la Boische de Beauharnois
1738	The French-Canadian trader, Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, sieur de La Vérendrye, enters the territory that will become North Dakota with an exploration party that reaches the Mandan villages in the region. During this period, trading posts are also being set up in what is now Ohio and New France lays claim to what is now Oklahoma. By the start of the eighteenth century, French Quebec was a thriving colonial city
1744 - 1748	The War of the Austrian Succession is a wide-ranging conflict that encompasses the North American King George's War, two Silesian Wars, the War of Jenkins' Ear, and involves most of the crowned heads of Europe in deciding the question of whether Maria Theresa can succeed as archduke of Austria and, perhaps even more importantly, asHoly Roman Emperor. Austria is supported by Britain, the Netherlands, the Savoyard kingdom of Sardinia, andSaxony (after an early switchover), but opposed by an opportunistic Prussia and France, who had raised the question in the first place to disrupt Habsburg control of central Europe, backed up by Bavaria and Sweden (briefly).Spain joins the war in an unsuccessful attempt to restore possessions lost to Austria in 1715. The War of Jenkins' Ear pitches Britain against Spain between 1739-1748. The Russo-Swedish War, or Hats' Russian War, is the Swedish attempt to regain territory lost to Russia in 1741-1743. King George's War is fought between Britain and France in the French Colonies in 1744-1748. The First Carnatic War of 1746-1748 involves the struggle for dominance in India by France and Britain. Henry Pelham, leader of the English government inParliament, is successful in ending the war, achieving peace with France and trade with Spain through the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. Austria is ultimately successful, losing only Silesia to Prussia.
1747 - 1749	Roland-Michel Barrin
1749 - 1752	Jacques-Pierre de Taffanel
1750	By this time, settlers from New France have drifted from the east side of the Mississippi into the area of what is now St Genevieve in the state of Missouri. St Louis is subsequently founded as the centre of the regional fur trade.
1752 - 1755	Michel-Ange Duquesne de Menneville
1755 - 1760	Pierre François de Rigaud	Son of Philippe de Rigaud (1703). Last governor.
1759 - 1763	In 1759 General James Wolfe claims New France for the British Colonies with victory over the French in the Battle of Quebec. In 1763, France cedes the vast and wild Louisiana Territory (stretching from modern Louisiana to Canada) to Spain where it forms part of New Spain (excluding southern Alabama which is appended to British West Florida). New France itself is formally handed over to Britain and renamed the Province of Quebec, which in 1791 becomes part of Canada.
1800	The French take back the Louisiana Territory under the terms of the Treaty of San Iidefonso.
1803	On 30 April, Napoleon Bonaparte, first citizen of France, sells Louisiana to the United States for 80 million francs. This marks the end of French involvement in North America, but France is responsible for creating the short-livedSecond Mexican empire in 1864.
