Tors Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador

Tors Cove is a small village located on the east coast of the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland, approximately 40 kilometers south of the St. John's, the provincial capital, along Route 10 (Irish Loop Drive/Southern Shore Highway). It was formerly named Toads Cove[1] and remains unincorporated without council.

The population was 279 in 1951 and 289 in 1956 and consisted of 459 as of 2016.[2] Throughout its history, its economy was sustained through the cod fishery and was the site of a codfish processing plant until the moratorium in 1991. It is also the site of a hydroelectric dam (located on Tors Cove pond) and power plant.
