Hampden is a town in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Many communities were resettled into Hampden after the island was brought into Canadian Confederation on 31 March 1949, where the Joey Smallwood government pushed a resettlement plan that involved over 300 villages and 28,000 people.

[2] Hampden was and still is to this day a logging and lumber town.

Thousands of cords of wood was boomed to the Bottom(furthest point south in White Bay) at an early time (1920s - 1930s) it was debarked and loaded aboard ships for England for the International Paper Company of Newfoundland.

To this day Hampden still relies of the logging industry as it main source of employment, Burton’s Cove Logging and Lumber Limited is the largest employer in the White Bay South area, employing forty plus employees year round.
