History
The town of Quebec was used for fur trading in the French Louisiana Territory. The town maintained friendly relations with the local indigenous peoples of Montana. Following the Louisiana Purchase, the town of Quebec, with the rest of Montana, became a part of the United States. While the town no longer exists, the name has been maintained in the area.[2]
