Maberly, Newfoundland and Labrador
Maberly is a tiny hamlet at the end of route 238-II on the Bonavista Peninsula on the island of Newfoundland with a permanent year-round population of about 20. It has long been associated with nearby Elliston, being about 2km from Elliston Centre by road, and was officially annexed by that town in recent years. Driving from Elliston Centre to Maberly, you pass through Sandy Cove and the Neck.
Geography
Maberly is located by sea between the towns of Catalina and Elliston. Flowers Cove, named for the maritime rock shallows known as the 'Flowers' is within walking distance from the community along the Catalina-Maberly walking trail through some very productive and picturesque berry-picking grounds. Noder Cove is an abandoned community between Maberly and Catalina most of whose former inhabitants moved to Maberly in the late 1800s. Residents of Maberly themselves mostly resettled to more central parts of Elliston or to Bonavista during the 1950s and 1960s.
Settlement and early history
Maberly was originally called Muddy Brook and was first settled by John Chaulk and his sons in the early 1800s.
