English Harbour East

English Harbour East is a town in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is a village located northeast of Belleoram. The Way Office was established in 1883 on July 1. The first Postmistress was Annis Hackett in 1891. The town had a population of 139 in the Canada 2016 Census. Many people moved to the area from such remote communities as Conne in the early to mid 20th Century.[1] Its boundaries are established by the Town of English Harbour East Order under the Municipalities Act (Newfoundland and Labrador).[2] The community was formerly served by St. George's School, which closed in 2006.[3] Several fishing sheds from abandoned communities elsewhere in Newfoundland have been moved to English Harbour East and restored.[4]
