Between 1713 and 1758, there was a major French colonizing venture on Cape Breton Island. The colony was known as Ile Royale and its principal settlement and administrative centre was Louisbourg. A multitude of controlling measures were introduced throughout the lifespan of the colony so as to make the society as ordered as possible. Most initiatives arose in and were directed at the capital, Louisbourg. The outport settlements were left largely to their own, informal means when it came to questions of order and control. The impetus to make Louisbourg an ordered society was deeply rooted in colonial officials, and to a lesser extent in the colonists themselves. Virtually every sphere of public life, and some aspects of private life, were touched by controlling measures. Some of the more prominent controls were in the following areas: town planning and the organization of space within the intra muros at Louisbourg; public celebrations, especially those which promoted the monarchy and the hierarchical values underpinning it; ordinances and practices aimed at discouraging certain types of behaviour; and the use of exemplary punishments in a formal justice system.
