The idyllic town of Fermeuse is located just south of Ferryland, approximately 90 kilometers south of St. John's along Route 10 on The Irish Loop. Like other communities in the area, Fermeuse was used as a summer fishing station in the 1500s by the Portuguese and is referred to on early Portuguese maps as R. Fermoso and Rio Fremoze.

The fishery continues to be the economic motor for the town, but in recent history interesting projects such as a Marine Center and a wind power project have created new opportunities for residents. But perhaps the greatest appeal of Fermeuse is its peaceful and quiet setting away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

In the spirit of their town motto, Built on the Strength of the Sea, the town of Fermeuse invites newcomers to come and build a new future with them.
