New Chelsea-New Melbourne-Brownsdale-Sibley's Cove-Lead Cove is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

This small village was originally called Russells Cove, and circa 1864 housed some 16 families.

[citation needed] Tradition has it that John Brown, who had migrated from Old Perlican around 1820, was the first settler in Brownsdale.

Tradition also tells that Lead Cove may have received its name from one of its earliest settler, Abraham Button, who felt that he had been "led" to this site from Old Perlican in his search for a place to settle.

All of these communities are underlain by Precambrian bedrock of the Big Head Formation, chiefly gray to green arkose and siltstone.
