The settlement was first populated in the early 1800s, certainly by 1856 , by those with rights to fish in French territorial waters. This treaty area ceased to exist by 1904, eliminating the traffic of French fishers and the requirement to mind their equipment through the winter months that many relied on for employment. .

The settlement appears in the 1921 Newfoundland Census in the St. Barbe district with a population of 2 people. It is located within the White Bay district in the 1935 Newfoundland Census with a population of 10 residents. It does not appear in the 1945 Newfoundland Census, supporting anecdotal information that the community was abandoned by this time.
