The island was originally inhabited by the Beothuks during the summer months, but it was taken over by the Europeans in the early 1500's. The name Fogo originated from the Portuguese word Fuego, which means "fire". The island was called this due to the fires the Beothuks would have at their camps. The Island consists of eleven different communities with a total population of approximately 3000 people. During the resettlement program of the 1960's, Fogo Islanders refused to move and Fogo Island has grown to be a leader in the fishing industry.
 

So look around and see what Fogo Island has to offer you.
