Québec is the largest province by area and the second largest by population. The official language of Québec is French; it is the sole Canadian province whose population is mainly French Canadian, and where English is not an official language at the provincial level. Part of New France until 1760, Québec became a province within the Canadian Confederation at its founding in 1867.
