Robinson's Blight: First known as Pissing Mere, a local name for streams and waterfalls, Robinson's Blight was the winter home for the Robinson family from Trinity, in the late 18th century.

It was one of the first places to be settled on the northwest arm of Random Sound.

It was later abandoned some time after 1889, and a new community was created close to the original site, acquiring the same name.
