History & geography

History

The first settlers in Ladle Cove are believed to have been Samuel and Tobias Pinsent, who stayed for the winter in 1862. The first land grant was issued to the Methodist board of education in 1876; the next grant was given to the West Brothers in 1877. By 1869 there were 48 people living in the cove, some of whom spent the summer fishing around the Offer Wadham Islands. In the 1880s, the fertile soil enabled Ladle Cove to ship surplus vegetables to other communities. The first post office was established in Abraham Tulk's home around 1885; it remained there until 1919, when Martha Stratton had it in her home. A post office was built in 1925. The population in 1951 was 176. ;Church history Although most of the population at the beginning of settlement were Church of England, there was no Church of England church. The first Methodist school-chapel in Ladle Cove opened in 1884 and the first minister was either James Wilson or A.J. Cheeseman. Between 1862 and 1874, ministers from Greenspond and Fogo visited to perform services, baptisms, burials and marriages. From 1874 to 1884, the ministers came from Musgrave Harbour until Ladle Cove got its own church, which fell under the Musgrave circuit. In 1894 a new church was opened by Thomas Darby.
