Pouch Cove
Pouch Cove - (pronounced "Pooch" Cove), is one of the oldest
settlements in Newfoundland. The exact date of its settlement
is unknown but it is documented early as 1611, only 28 years
after Sir Humphrey Gilbert claimed the island for England. The
Town is a 20-25 minute drive to St. John’s, the Capital City of
the Province. Pouch Cove was incorporated in 1970 and has an
active council within the Town. There has always been three
dominant religions in Pouch Cove and there is a Catholic church, Anglican church and an United church within the community. It is said that Pouch Cove is the “first to see the sun” rise in North America.
