The period between 1660 and 1690 was of paramount importance in Quebec's history; it was marked by profound administrative changes, an influx of immigrants, a boom in housing construction, and an attempt at labour self-sufficiency. This paper develops a definition of the town as it existed in New France and examines the policies and people that governed it. It offers a glimpse of its inhabitants, their houses, and the day to day environment in which they lived and worked. It also examines the labour force.
