Early History

Bay de Verde is located in Conception Bay, Newfoundland at 48 degrees 5 minutes North Latitude and 52 degrees 53 minutes West Longitude, near the extreme end of that land mass generally referred to as the Bay de Verde Peninsula or what is today known in Provincial Tourist Brochures as “The Baccalieu Trail”. This peninsula extends from the Trans Canada Highway in the west to Baccalieu Island in the east.

The name Bay de Verde is of Portuguese origin. It is an historical fact that Portuguese and Spanish explorers frequented the area during their era of great discoveries in the 15th and 16th centuries. The word ‘Verde’ in Portuguese simply means ‘green’, an obvious reference to the profusion of grass that grows there in the late spring and early summer. In John Guy's visit to Bay de Verde in 1612 when on his way from Cupids to Trinity Bay, he referred to it as ‘Greene Bay’. Being used as a fishing station by the Portuguese in the early 16th century, before the advent of the English, would make it one of the earliest sites of European activity in North America. Perhaps one of the earliest references to the Bay de Verde area is to Baccalieu Island which appears on Ruysch’s map of 1508. Ruysch was a cartographer who apparently had been on the first voyage of John Cabot to Newfoundland. Castaldi’s map of 1550 also records Baccalieu Island. Bay de Verde appears on Mason’s map of 1577. This map had apparently been copied from an English-Dutch map of an earlier time.

The earliest documented inhabitant of Bay de Verde was Isaac Dethick who came here in 1662 from Placentia with his family and servants. Dethick was an English planter forced out of Placentia when the French took over that town. There is no doubt that there were settlers such as the Taverners already established at Bay de Verde when he arrived. Some 13 years later when Captain John Berry took an official census of the Conception Bay area, there were 95 inhabitants as well as 140 fishermen fishing at Bay de Verde from seven migratory fishing vessels for a total population of 235 people. Surprisingly, Isaac Dethick is not listed. Other family names at the time are Tobin, Smith and Hill. By 1682 the summer population was 278 and the winter population 121. Taverner, Smith and Hill families were still there as well as Ery, Jeffrey and Rollins. As can be seen the permanent population has made a quite substantial 20% increase over this seven year period.

When the French began their devastating raids on the Avalon Peninsula in 1697 they found 90 good men at Bay de Verde. When you include women and children, there is no doubt the permanent population was close to 200 people. The raids under Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville wreaked havoc among the established planters. Everything was destroyed or taken as war booty. Now came the difficult task of rebuilding what had been destroyed. This the settlers did and there was calm until another French raid in 1705 by M. Montigny saw equal devastation. This time many of the established planters had more than they could take. Some of them left and moved to more fortified locations like St. John’s and Trinity. In 1708 there were only 30 people at Bay de Verde.

However, another group of settlers began to arrive after 1713 when the Treaty of Utrecht declared that Newfoundland was owned by Great Britain. The French were given fishing rights along the northeast coast. These new settlers now included Irish as well as English and although the English had more rights, the Irish began to establish themselves as well late in the 1700's. By 1753 the population of Bay de Verde was 128 comprised of 69 English and 59 Irish. The Plantation Book Records of 1804-5 show that the established planters were of English descent but the Irish were now beginning to obtain their share of property as well.

Town Council

A Brief History of the Town Council

In 1949 shortly after Confederation several of Bay de Verde’s more far-sighted and civic-minded individuals who had grown up with the perpetual problem of lack of water, decided to approach the newly elected Newfoundland Government to discuss the possibility of obtaining a water supply for the community. The result was the appointment of the first Town Council in 1950. However, having the basics of a municipal structure thrust upon them so suddenly, and not fully understanding how it would benefit the community, some residents began to vigorously oppose it. As a result, in1951 the struggling council disbanded without ever having fulfilled any of its objectives.

By the mid 1970's the civic and social structure of Bay de Verde had changed. A new drive began to obtain the same services that other towns in Newfoundland were already enjoying. In January of 1975 a new Town Council was elected and Bay de Verde was on its way to developing into the modern town it is today. A municipal tax structure was put in place, water and sewer projects began, a volunteer fire department was formed, new street lighting was installed and many of the roads were paved.

Fire Department

One of the first priorities of the newly elected Town Council was the establishment of a fire department. Indeed, some people say that it was the need for a Fire Department that gave impetus to the establishment of the Town Council. Most people now realized that a major fire in the community with all its homes clustered together would be catastrophic. This, along with the new fish plant and a developing waterfront made fire protection a definite necessity. Having learned from the mistakes of 1950, the new Fire Department was well organized and an effort was made to set it up in a professional manner.

They had very little trouble getting twenty-five volunteers from the community to make up that 'brigade' which started from very humble beginnings in the basement of the Town Hall. At first, the firemen raised money in any way they could, including going around from door to door asking for donations. In the beginning, the newly formed Ladies Auxiliary were extremely helpful in raising money as well as giving moral support. Over the years with the unqualified dedication of the firemen and the support of the Town Council, it has developed into a first class Fire Department.

Churches

Anglican Church Roman Catholic Church
 

A Brief History of the Churches in Bay de Verde 

Roman Catholic 

The first church built by the Roman Catholics in Bay de Verde was constructed about 1810 under the tenure of Father Thomas Ewer who was parish priest at Harbour Grace. It was located north of the present day church in the Old Chapel Rock Cemetery. In 1896 construction began on the present church under the tenure of Father Joseph V. Donnelly who had become parish priest in 1883 just three years after Bay de Verde had become a parish. The new church was built just to the south of the old church on land donated by James Noonan. Because of the unique architecture of Father Donnelly’s church plans, three master carpenters were hired for its construction. They were James O’Neill and John Brady from Bay de Verde and Thomas Hogan from Northern Bay. Parishioners also gave freely of their labor when needed. The new Church of the Assumption was ready for use in 1897 and was officially consecrated by Bishop McDonald in 1903. 

Church of England 

According to Don Barter in his book Surviving on the Headland, construction of the first Church of England church in Bay de Verde began in 1821. However, when Oliver Rouse arrived in August of 1847, it was in such poor condition that he immediately set about putting the wheels in motion to begin building a new church. The second St. Barnabas Church was located some distance to the east of the old one in the general area of where the Anglican Church is today on Church Hill. It was completed in 1856 and consecrated by Bishop Field on November 25, 1857.

           In 1886 construction began on the third St. Barnabas Church under the tenure of Reverend William How. It was located just to the east of the old existing church on a piece of land purchased from Edward Cotter. Although some wages were paid, most of the work on the church was done free labor by the parishioners. Reverend How left in 1890 and the task of completing the new church was left to his successor Reverend Frank Smart. The new St. Barnabas Church was consecrated by Bishop Jones on May 12, 1891.

 A Brief History of the Schools in Bay de Verde                 

         Bay de Verde was settled in the last half of the 1600’s and from that time until the early 1800’s there was very little if any formal education. A few private schools operated in St. John's and in the Conception Bay area but for the majority of children there was no formal education. Very few people could read or write unless they were children of merchants who were sometimes sent to private schools in St. John’s or went back to England to be educated there.

         Samuel Codner, an Englishman who had become a St. John's merchant, was the first to try to remedy this situation. As the story goes, when Mr. Codner was returning to England in 1821 he got caught in a terrific Atlantic storm. He was somewhat of a religious man and in the fury of the storm vowed that if he reached home safely, "he would devote his resources to the spreading of religious virtues". Fate was good to Codner and he and his fellow passengers were safely delivered from the storm. True to his word, on June 30, 1821, in a London coffee house, Codner and others founded the Society for Educating the Poor of Newfoundland. He was successful over the next several years in procuring funds from various sources and as a result the Society set up schools in many parts of Newfoundland.  

         In the first official census taken in 1836 by the newly elected legislature of Newfoundland, neither a school nor a teacher is listed at Bay de Verde. However, there is evidence to indicate that children were being educated. In his Last Will and Testament dated May 30, 1832, Timothy Dineen, a native of Lismore but who had been living at Bay de Verde for 40 years clearly states that, "John Lynch is to have the Cooper's shop during such time as it may answer him to teach school in, rent free". This was the first mention of any type of education being carried out in Bay de Verde.  John Lynch was the same man who had come from Ireland on the ill-fated ship Fanny in 1811 and had left the ship at Bay de Verde.

        With the passing of the first Education Act in 1836, nine Boards of Education for Newfoundland were established. This was the first real start of formal education in most of the out ports. On April 30, 1838, the government member for the District of Conception Bay, Mr. James Prendergast, visited Bay de Verde to find out how many people would contribute to the support of school-masters. In his report Mr. Prendergast stated that, "the inhabitants appear to appreciate the intentions of the Legislature and to be desirous that a school should be established among them." The school was indeed established in 1843, for Mr. Prendergast reported in his 1847 School Report to the Legislature that a school has been operated here for four years by teacher John Morrissey. In 1847, another school was built at Bay de Verde by the Catholic Board of Education for the Carbonear District. In a report to the Legislature on May 22, 1847 by J. P. Gleeson, money in the amount of 55 pounds is “paid for materials, etc., for a school-house about to be commenced at Bay de Verde”.

         In 1853 the Newfoundland Government established what they called Commercial Schools, a concept that was introduced to Bay de Verde in 1859. In a report to the Board of Education in 1865, the School Inspector stated that there was a Commercial School at Bay de Verde under the jurisdiction of the Catholic Board. This was no doubt the same school building that had been built in 1847. Mr. Patrick Fox was the teacher and the total attendance was seventy-four pupils.             

         Toward the end of the 19th century the Roman Catholic Parish, under the direction of Father Joseph Donnelly, built a new combination hall-school. It was built adjacent to the old Roman Catholic Cemetery on the south side of the harbour near Walsh's Hill. Father Donnelly had been born in St. John’s and studied in Rome and had obviously developed a keen interest in architecture. After building the church and parish house, he began construction of a new school. The building was a two-story structure with two classrooms on the top level and an amphitheatre on the lower level. The gradually sloping amphitheatre was similar to the Elizabethan theatres of England, something quite unique to a Newfoundland outport. School and community concerts were held there on a regular basis. When Father William Casey was assigned to the parish in 1940 he thought that this school building had outlived its usefulness and had it torn down. On almost the same site he built a one story, two-room school. The building had none of the practical usefulness of the old building and none of the unique Victorian architectural style. The new St. Mary's School was opened in September of 1942 and in 1956 two more classrooms were built across from the parish house on the hill.

         By the 1920's, according to Donald Barter in his book Surviving on the Headland, the Anglican hall-school at the top of Church Hill was in a dilapidated condition. In 1925 under the direction of Reverend Henry Gilbert a new school was built in the north end of Church Hill Cemetery. The new St. Barnabas School was officially opened on November 17, 1926. In 1961 due to an increase in enrolment a new school was built in Bear’s Cove, which was used to accommodate the high school students.  

         In the 1960’s many of the School Boards of Newfoundland began to make changes to school infrastructure with the building of central high schools. In 1967 the Roman Catholic Parish of Bay de Verde in conjunction with the Roman Catholic School Board for Conception Bay North built St. Joseph’s Central High School just east of the Bay de Verde-Grates Cove highway intersection. This school opened with an enrollment of 160 students and served primarily the Catholic children of the communities of Bay de Verde, Red Head Cove, Grates Cove, Low Point and Caplin Cove. Realizing a better opportunity for education was available at this school, students slowly began withdrawing from the other Anglican school systems.

         In 1972, the Roman Catholic and the Avalon North Integrated School Boards of Conception Bay North entered into a formal agreement known as a ‘shared services agreement’. Tricon Elementary was built almost directly across the highway from St. Joseph’s Central High. The system officially started in September of 1973 but due to storm damage it was not until January of 1974 that 235 primary and elementary students from the surrounding communities began attending Tricon for the first time.

         In 1997 Denominational Education was abolished in Newfoundland and with this change came once again a reduction in the number of schools. St. Joseph’s Central High School was closed in June of 2002 after providing educational services to the students of the area for 35 years. In the summer of 2007 the building was removed from the site. A new school, Baccalieu Collegiate was opened in the nearby community of Old Perlican in September of 2002 to accommodate students on the north and south shores of the lower half of the Bay de Verde Peninsula. Tricon Elementary still remains open today as a K-6 system with a student enrolment of 101 students from the nearby communities of Bay de Verde, Red Head Cove, Grates Cove, Old Perlican, Sibley’s Cove, Lead Cove, Brownsdale and Caplin Cove.
