Area Information
The town was originally made up of 2 separate municipalities. The first, Bourlamaque, founded in 1934 by the Lamaque Mining Co, was a company town for many years. The other, Val-d'Or, was incorporated as a village in 1935 and a town 2 years later, and began as a bustling gold-rush town. For many years, the twin centres were known as Val-d'Or-Bourlamaque. A third town, Lac Lemoyne, was formed in 1958. In 1968 the 3 towns amalgamated under the name Val-d'Or. Val-d'Or has prospered from the dozens of gold mines discovered in the vicinity. The Sigma mine, located within the town's limits, has been in operation since 1935. The Canadian Encyclopedia
