Parson's Pond was originally called Sandy Bay. It is located on the Great Northern Peninsula. The first census was in the late 19th century and had a population of just 18, by 2001 the population was 427.



Tourism


Parson's Pond, which has a small harbour, is on route 430 which is known as the Viking Trail. From the town there is a scenic view to Gros Morne National Park which is just 5 km to the south. The Arches Provincial Park with an interesting geological formation of limestone formed by glacial action, wind and water erosion is 10 km north of the town.[2]


Parson's Pond is also known as the final resting place of Zachary Turner after being involved with a murder-suicide with his mother, Shirley Jane Turner.[3]
