Cappahayden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cappahayden is a small community located on the east coast of the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland, Canada. The community was amalgamated with the much larger community Renews in the mid 60's to form the community of Renews-Cappahayden.
Cappahayden once called Broad Cove can date inhabitants located there in the late 1700's. Its location was reported by William Vaughan as early as 1626 when it was noted on a map as Vaughan's Cove. The name Cappahayden was given by Father John Walsh after his birthplace, Cappahayden, Kilkenny. The name Cappahayden was approved by the Newfoundland Nomenclature Board in 1913.
Just south of Cappahayden is the site of the tragic sinking of the SS Florizel at Horn Head Point (), near Chance Cove Park.
