Lockport,_Newfoundland_and_Labrador
Lockesporte, also spelled Lockesport or Lockport and originally known as Lock's Harbour,[lower-alpha 1] was a fishing village and logging community on the eastern coast of Seal Bay, within the much larger Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland, Canada.[1]
Lockesporte first appeared in census records in 1869 (as Lock's Harbour), at which point it was recorded as having 34 inhabitants,[1] though this likely included the residents of neighbouring Winter House Cove.[3] The population fell to a low of 15 in 1911, before rebounding to 74 in 1951.[1] In the late 1960s, both it and Winter House Cove were resettled, with 39 Lockesporte residents moving to Glovers Harbour and the remainder to Leading Tickles, Point Leamington, and Deer Lake.[1]
