Three Rock Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador
Three Rock Cove is a village located northwest of Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador. The population was 94 in 1940; 113 in 1951; 230 in 1956; 145 in 2008;[citation needed] 189 in 2011; and 188 in 2016.[1]
Three Rock Cove was originally known as Trois Cailloux, named for the three large rocks located just off of the shore. Due to erosion two rocks are reduced in size and the last has been reduced to a stub that can only be seen at low tide.
After a successful community fundraising campaign, Bell Mobility agreed to install a cellphone tower to serve Three Rock Cove and the nearby community of Mainland.[2]
