Jersey Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador

Jersey Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador

Jersey Harbour was a small place in Fortune Bay. The Post Office was established in 1895. The first Postmistress was Mary White.

The name "Jerseyman's Harbour" has also been used interchangeably with Jersey Harbour in various written records. It is theorized that the origin of the name refers to fishing merchants from Jersey Island (one of the Channel Islands between Great Britain and France) who originally settled or worked in this region.
