wesleyville, newfoundland and labrador

Wesleyville was settled in the early 1800's, when residents relocated from nearby islands. The original name of the community was Swain's Island. Population peaked at about 1,200 mid century. Wesleyville is now part of the municipality of New-Wes-Valley, population about 2,800. The municipality includes the villages and towns of the area, including: Pools Island, Badgers Quay, Valleyfield, Brookfield, Wesleyville, Pound Cove, Templeman, and Newtown. The primary industry has always been fishing, with people also employed traditionally in other industries such as forestry.
