Ceded to Britain

10 February 1763

The Domaine du roy ("King's Domain") was a vast region of New France situated between the seigneurie of Les Éboulements and the Cormorant Cape. Extending north from the Saint Lawrence River towards the Hudson Bay watershed, an area claimed by Great Britain as Rupert's Land, the territory covered an area of 460,000 km².

Established in 1652, the Domaine du roy was renamed "King's Domain" after the French and Indian War.^[1] A present-day regional county municipality in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec also inherited the name Le Domaine-du-Roy.
