Early History
Nestled in the hills in a well protected harbour, Triton was first inhabited by Dorset Eskimos. It was settled by the English in the early 1800's. Sheltered from the wind and sea, the area that is now the town of Triton provided much encouragement of those who first decided to make this island their home. The name Triton appeared in early records as Troytown, Traytown, Treaton, and Tory Town and owes its origin to English west Country usage of "Troytown" to refer to a maze either because of the complexity of Great Triton Harbour or because of the difficulty of navigation through off-lying islands to enter little Triton Harbour. The town of Triton consists of the east end of Triton Island, in western, Notre Dame Bay, and includes Triton West, Jim's Cove and Card's Harbour. The fishery creates the most employment and the community is equipped with the largest fish processing plant in Green Bay. Triton is an industrious town with hard-working people who take pride in their community.
