Hodge's Cove

Hodge's Cove is a community located south east of Clarenville, in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Hodge’s Cove was settled in 1861. It is not known for sure, but the settlement’s name may have come from visitors who made short trips to the area to cut wood. As early as the 1840s, fisherman from Grates Cove in Trinity Bay came to Southwest Arm looking for wood. The Way Office was established in 1884 and the first Way Master was James Drover. It had a population of 261 in 2016 and was first referred to as Hodge's Hole.
