Port Hope SimpsonPort Hope Simpson is located in southeastern Labrador, on the south side of the Alexis River. It was founded in 1934 as a logging camp and has since become the largest community in southeastern Labrador. After a sawmill and townsite was built at Alexis River in 1934, it was named Port Hope Simpson after the Commissioner of Natural Resources, Sir John Hope Simpson. The logging station hired several Hundred loggers from nearby communities and unemployed men were brought in from the Newfoundland Island.
