Fischot Island was a former Island community just outside the town of St. Anthony and Goose Cove. It had a population of 48 in 1935. The people who once lived there on the 1.3 km (0.81 mi) round island, all resettled to new towns in search of work and better opportunities for raising their families. There were 4 main families that lived on the island. They were Alyward, Bromley, Davis, and Sexton. Most of these families originally came from England and Ireland.
