Trinity Bay North is a town in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is located at the northern tip of Trinity Bay. It was established on January 1, 2005, through the amalgamation of several smaller communities, including Catalina, Port Union, Melrose, and Little Catalina. The town is known for its strong ties to Newfoundland's fishing heritage and its scenic coastal landscapes.
The history of Trinity Bay North is deeply intertwined with the fishing heritage of Newfoundland and Labrador. The town was officially established on January 1, 2005, through the amalgamation of four communities: Catalina, Port Union, Melrose, and Little Catalina. Each of these communities has a distinct story, contributing to the town's collective identity.[1]
Catalina is one of the oldest settlements in the region, with roots dating back to the 18th century. It was a hub for cod fishing and played a role in Newfoundland's maritime economy. The Joseph Clouter Free Public Library was established in Catalina in 1937. This library, the first outside St. John’s, reflected the community’s emphasis on education and culture.
Port Union is the only union-built town in North America. It was founded in 1916 by Sir William Ford Coaker, the leader of the Fishermen’s Protective Union (FPU). Coaker envisioned a self-sufficient community where fishermen could live and work under fairer conditions. Port Union became the FPU's headquarters and featured modern amenities for its time, including housing, a fish plant, and a printing press, which published the newspaper "The Fishermen’s Advocate."[2] Port Union was designed with workers' welfare in mind. Today, the Port Union National Historic District preserves the legacy of the FPU.[3]
Melrose, known as Ragged Harbour until 1904, has long been a small fishing community. Like its neighbors, Melrose relied heavily on cod fishing for economic survival. Its rebranding in the early 20th century reflected a desire to modernize and distinguish itself. Melrose's rural setting and proximity to hiking trails make it a destination for visitors exploring the region.
Little Catalina is located along the coastline and is a gateway to some of the area’s walking trails, such as the Little Catalina to Maberly Trail, which has views of cliffs, sea stacks, and wildlife. The town's history is tied to the traditional fishing economy.
