Le Havre was founded on 8 October 1517 as a new port by royal command of François I partly to replace the historic harbours of Harfleur and Honfleur which had become increasingly impractical due to silting-up. The city was originally named "Franciscopolis" after the king, and was subsequently renamed Le Havre-de-Grâce ("Harbour of Grace") after an existing chapel of "Notre-Dame-de-Grâce" ("our Lady of Grace").
