- Abstract
Between 1675 and 1763, to assist in the colony's governance, the intendant of New France was appointing sub-delegates in the towns. He delegated part of his powers to these officers whom he trusted to inform him and execute his orders concerning "all sorts of affairs". Deployed over the entire territory, urban and rural, these sub-delegates extended the intendant's authority and jurisdiction throughout the province. Our research shows that, in addition to a dominance of urban notables in rural areas, the intendant's administrative strategies were adapted to local circumstances, notably through the recruitment of sub-delegates.
