History

Daniel's Cove lies in two small valleys treed with two rivers running through it, and it is probable that it was settled about the same time as Old and New Perlican in the late 18th century.

Economy

The economic base for this community was the small-boat inshore cod fishery, but serves as a summer home community for a number of family descendants of the community.
