Cow Head has been known to be a central location to very rich fishing grounds, as well as being in the shipping and trading lanes since the 1800's. Fishermen traded with the English trading company "Bird and Company" and Nova Scotia traders. In the beginning, the main fisheries included herring, cod, and salmon with the lobster fishery being added around 1887. In 1939, the start of the Co-op Movement was seen in Cow Head. This co-op and it's successors succeeded until the late 1960's.
