Purcell's Harbour is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is on the southern Twillingate island, about 4 km (2.5 mi) outside the town of Twillingate, near the community of Little Harbour. The community has a small natural harbour which opens up into Main Tickle, which separates Twillingate Island from New World Island.
Purcell's Harbour was considered to be settled in the late 18th century, but no separate census was kept for individual communities within the area of Twillingate. The first time it was recorded separately was in 1911 when it had a population of 77.[1]
Government[]
Purcell's Harbour is a local service district (LSD)[2] that is governed by a committee responsible for the provision of certain services to the community.[3] The chair of the LSD committee is Leo Anstey.[2]
