Danville is a city in the administrative region of Estrie, in the Canadian province of Quebec.

Danville is on a stretch of Chemin Craig, a road built in the 19th century connecting Quebec to New England.

However, in the mid-1970s, many of the younger generation migrated to English Canada, Greater Montreal, or New England.

Another memorial, to Private Timothy O'Hea, a recipient of the Victoria Cross, is erected in front of the former City Hall.

A magnesium smelter, Magnola, part of Noranda, using mine tailings from local asbestos mine, was set up in the town for a short time, but it ended up closing because of increasing foreign competition.
