George's Brook: Located north of Clarenville at the head of Smith Sound, George's Brook is believed to be named after an early settler by the name of George Pelley.
It was founded in 1862 and the main source of employment was lumbering. Smith Sound is known to be one of the key breeding grounds for the Atlantic cod in the province.
