Area Information
- Location:
In the early nineteenth century, settlers formed several small independent communities on the Ramea Islands.
- In the early 1940s, all inhabitants moved to Northwest Island and formed the Town of Ramea, which was incorporated in 1951. The location provided an excellent harbour and was strategic for exploiting the fishery.
- In the mid to late 1800s John Penney & Sons developed a salt fish operation which rapidly grew into fresh fish processing with deep sea trawlers. This became the basis for the town's economy. Newfoundland and Labrador
