Bickfordville

Bickfordville is a hamlet in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

[1][2] The community is located in the south of Bell Island in Newfoundland's eastern Conception Bay.

The place owes its name to the fact that a large part of the population there bears the surname Bickford.

[3] Until 1970 there was a local branch of the Loyal Orange Association in Bickfordville.

[4] In 1947 a referendum was held on the island to decide whether or not to grant it a municipality status; with "no" as a result.
