Sally's Cove - Newfoundland and Labrador
Route 430
Coordinates: 49.7296° N, 57.9371° W
Sally's Cove is believed to be named after Sally Short who along with her children, were shipwrecked here while leaving her husband and took shelter in the cove.
One of the area's first settlers was Richard Gilley. Most settlers came from Woody Point and probably fished in the area for years before deciding to stay. The first census was taken in 1884, with a population of 9. By 1891, it had grown to 30 and by 1901; ten years later it was 59. In 1954 a road was built to the community.
When Gros Morne National Park was established, Sally's Cove was designated by Parks Canada to be resettled. By 1976, the population had declined from 430 to 188 and by 1981 to 100. Some residents refused to move, even though there were official restrictions on building and selling and inheriting homes. By the late 1980's these restrictions were removed and Sally's Cove became a park enclave community
