La Malbaie is a municipality in the Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality in the province of Quebec, Canada that was named after the British General James Murray (17211794), whose term in Quebec was notably successful, and marked with excellent relationships with the conquered French-Canadians, who were reassured of their traditional rights and customs.
He could not find suitable anchorage for his ship in the bay and therefore named it Malle Baye (archaic French for "bad bay"), a name further justified when during low tide the bay dried up and his ships ran aground.
