English Harbour East is a town in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is located on the northeast side of Fortune Bay. Settled first by the Mi’kmaq of Newfoundland which used land on the "Neck" of the Harbour,[1][2] they were joined in the early 1800s,[3] by the English Dodge family[4] and by Irishman Thomas Hynes Sr.[1] European fishermen were first brought to the small community by English merchant family of Newman and Co. based in Harbour Breton, the firm of merchant John Gorman, and the Jersey firm of Nicholle and Co.[3][5] The town had a population of 117 in the Canada 2021 Census.[6]
