Pushthrough is a
resettled fishing community located on Newfoundland and Labrador's
south coast, about 20 km northwest of
Hermitage. Permanent settlement at Pushthrough happened in 1814, when George Chambers moved there from Gaultois to establish a fishing room and later a store. The community lost population to
Gaultois in the 1950s and to
Head of Bay d'Espoir in the 1960s. In 1968, virtually all the families with school aged children moved, effectively leading to the downfall of the community.
