The harbour at Trinity was first used by fishing ships around the 16th century. The Portuguese explorer Gaspar Corte-Real is said to have named this place because he arrived here on Trinity Sunday in 1501 [http://www.the-discovery-trail.com/] . It was settled by merchants from Poole in England during the 18th century. The town contains a number of buildings recognized as Registered Heritage Structures by the province.

Trinity was used as a filming location for the 2001 film "The Shipping News" and for the 2002 television miniseries "Random Passage".
