Murdochville (French pronunciation: [mɚdɔkvil, mœʁ-] ⓘ) is a city in Quebec, Canada, one of only a few inland communities on the Gaspé Peninsula.

[3] In 1921, copper ore was discovered in the area by the Miller brothers: Alfred, Sydney, Frederick, Angus and Theophilus.

A number of large union battles in Murdochville also helped lay the groundwork for ideas that still exist today.

[vague] The 1957 Murdochville strike led to the adoption of several new laws protecting the rights of unionized workers in Quebec.

This has included the creation of several large wind turbine projects, along with the diversification of the local economy, with emphasis on tourism (such as skiing in the winter months).
