Description From Owner:
  • Flows E into Murray Harbour, Lots 63 and 64. Named by Samuel Holland 1765 for James Murray (1719-1794) Governor of Quebec 1763-1768.
  • A tradition in 1905 had the name derived from French morue, 'codfish'; perhaps Holland was given that name and changed it slightly to the name of the distinguished governor of Quebec.
  • Holland 1781 Munay River; Micmac for 'bear' is Moinec. In the same area he changed cap à l'Ours to Cape Bear.
