Osmond, Newfoundland And Labrador
Osmond is an unincorporated place in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The settlement was a stop on the Newfoundland Railway. History By the late 1800s, the coastal area between Cape Ray, Newfoundland and Labrador, Cape Ray and Grand Bay West was occupied by about 100 settlers living in the tiny scattered communities of Big Barachois, Cape Barrisway (or Barachois Point), Dreadfall Point, Jerrett Point, Middle Barachois, Point Rosy, and Rocky Barachois. The settlers fished for cod in the local waters, and established farms, selling vegetables to fishing communities along the southwest coast of Newfoundland. After the Newfoundland Railway went through in 1897, the people in these settlements began moving closer to communities nearer the tracks, and by about 1930, most had resettled to a location near a railway siding at Barachois Point, which was renamed "Osmond" after a local family.
