Who was Jacques Archambault?
Jacques Archambault was a French colonist in Montreal. He was born in Dompierre-sur-Mer, where he was baptized.
Archambault married Françoise Tourault, with whom he had many children. All Archambaults now living in North America are his descendants, as no other Archambault ever emigrated from France.
A plate in the back of the Pointe-à-Callière Museum of Montreal commemorates his digging the first water well, near what is now known as Place-d'Armes, on October 11, 1658, upon request by Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve.
