We have finally reached the community of Patrick's Cove,
located on the Cape Shore. This community is said to
be the most beautiful place on the shore. Patrick's Cove
was a fishing community on the Cape Shore. Patrick's
Cove is built on both sides of a steep river valley which
frames a small harbor. This was a great contrast to the
grassy marshlands that supported sheep, goats, horses and
cows in neighboring communities. The cove and the
community were originally known as Devil's Cove. It was
renamed in about 1840, reportedly after a grandson of the
first settler. In 1857 there were 29 people in Patrick's
Cove. From then on the population gradually increased,
approaching 100 people by 1921. Many people have
noted the strong Irish ties and roots of Patrick's Cove.
So come follow me and we will tour Patrick's Cove
together.
