Town of Baie Verte Details
The community of Baie Verte is located on the Northeast coast of Newfoundland and Labrador on the Baie Verte Peninsula in White Bay. Baie Verte existed as a small community in the late 1800's and early 1900's but with the discovery of asbestos and other ore bodies of copper, lead, zinc and gold in the mid 1950's the town flourished. With the subsequent development of the mining industry, the population grew from approximately 1000 in 1960, to 2500 by the late seventies. However, with the decline in this same mining industry, and the unfortunate out-migration of many of the trained miners and their families, the population as of the 2001 census is 1492 down from 1708 in 1996 census.It exists today as a somewhat rural Newfoundland and Labrador community. However, it differs significantly in that it has a substantial recreational and industrial infrastructure inherited from its period of industrial growth from 1960 to 1980.Baie Verte is an incorporated community (1958) with conventional water and sewer systems, a 16-kilometer paved street system and a connecting all-season paved highway (64km) to the Trans Canada Highway system.
