La Tuque is a city in northeastern Quebec, Canada on the Saint-Maurice River, between Trois-Rivières and Chambord. In 1960 it had a population of just over 11,000 (Latuquois). La Tuque became the largest municipality in land area in Quebec, and second largest in Canada (29,000 km²) after it was merged with the village of Parent, the municipalities of La Bostonnais, La Croche, and Lac-Édouard, and the unorganized territories of Kiskissink, Lac-Berlinguet, Lac-des-Moires, Lac-Pellerin, Lac-Tourlay, Obedjiwan, Petit-Lac-Wayagamac, and Rivière-Windigo on March 26, 2003. The former city of La Tuque had itself been formed from the merger of La Tuque and La Tuque Falls in 1911.
