It is located on the northeast Avalon Peninsula, 27 kilometres north of St. John's, the province's capital city.

The origin of Pouch Cove dates back to 1611, when fisherman from British ships, together with carpenters and other artisans, established a settlement.[1] The town was officially incorporated in 1970.[1] The post office was established in 1975. The Town has a Council consisting of a Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and five councillors.[2] The town's motto is "first to see the sun," referring to the sunrise in North America.[3]

In 1987 the municipality was amalgamated with the smaller rural settlement of Shoe Cove.[1]

Actor and comedian Jonny Harris is from here.
