Biscay Bay is a local service district in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

[2] The census of 1857 shows Biscay Bay with 4.5 acres (18,000 m2) of improved land producing 20 barrels of potatoes and three tons of hay.

When Jackson died, his daughter Caroline decided to go back to live in England so she sold the land to Thomas Ryan and Richard Hartery for 150 pounds.

Residents farmed root crops and hay, raised sheep, cattle and pigs and also fished for cod inshore.

The coming of the branch railway in 1913 added extra impetus to the area, as it had a sawmill in 1920.
