Provincia occidental de Canadá. Su capital es Quebec. La región perteneció a Francia desde 1627 hasta 1763 cuando la perdió en favor de los británicos. Su nombre deriva del término algonquino quilibec, que significa el lugar donde las aguas se hacen más estrechas, en referencia al canal paulatinamente más estrecho del San Lorenzo, o los estrechamientos del rio en Cape Diamond. (Traducción libre del original: Webster's New Geographical Dictionary, 1988, p993 & Room, Brewer's Dictionary of Names, 1992, p440)
