Aspen Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador

Aspen Cove is a small fishing community in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

It first appears in the 1857 Census as Apsey Cove with a population of thirteen, all dependent on the salmon fishery.

In the 1921 census the population had reached 104 and the economy had changed from salmon, fur, and agriculture to cod, lobster, and lumbering.

The first settler was from Fogo, a Robert Shelly (later Shelley) born at Hampshire, England who originally came to settle at Barr'd Islands.

[2] Located in the mouth of Hamilton Sound between Carmanville to the west and Musgrave Harbour to the east, the community is situated in the only protected area behind a small headland on the northwest side.
