Conne was a community in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada located on the Northern shore of Fortune Bay. It was first reported to be settled in 1836, in the first Census of Newfoundland with sixteen inhabitants. It was a severely isolated settlement, which had no church or school and very little land for growing crops, and it based its existence on the inshore fishery of cod, lobster, salmon and herring.

History

Conne's first inhabitants were the family of Edward Hatch.

Barnes, Fudge, and Giles^[4]

A small number of lobster factories operated between 1901 and 1921, and large amounts of salmon were reported to have been tinned in those years.
