Aguathuna

The area grew from workers at the nearby limestone mine site at Jack of Clubs Cove. The Dominion [Iron and Steel Company] opened a quarry there in 1911. The quarry's manager, Arthur House, wanted to rename the cove from Jack of Clubs Cove as it would never have been treated with serious respect. The then Archbishop M.F. Howley suggested Aguathuna believing it to be a Beothuk word for white stone. That name was chosen by residents over the other alternative, Limeville.
