Cape North contains the landforms Pollett's Cove, Wilkie Sugar Loaf and the Aspy Fault and the unincorporated areas of South Harbour, and Dingwall.
[1] Cape North is claimed to have been the "prema tiera vista" or first land[2] seen by explorer John Cabot.
Despite the ongoing dispute, the event is commemorated by Cabots Landing Provincial Park.
Cape North Lighthouse was built in 1874, and a fog alarm added in 1906.
