Touching the small portion of Labrador’s southern ocean, the town has a population of 219 in the 2021 census, up from 192 in 2011.

[2][1] It is located on Route 510, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the Quebec–Labrador border.

[3] The settlement of L'Anse au Cotard, an area near the town, is attributed to Jersey fishermen and merchants coming to the region, with the earliest known permanent resident being James Dumaresq from the Dumaresq family who decided to build a home in the region around 1810.

Descendants of Dumaresq and other Jersey families still inhabit the region and Canada as a whole.
