The town was established in the 1930s around the site of the Mufulira Copper Mine located on its north-western edge.
Mufulira is strategically positioned about 16 km from the border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo . It also serves as an important gateway connecting the Copperbelt Province to Luapula Province, making Luapula part of Mufulira’s commercial hinterland.

These connections make Mufulira an important economic and social hub for surrounding communities, which is why Future-Preneurs Zambia focuses its community empowerment and governance programs in this area and across Zambia.
