The community's name is believed to be derived
from the French word for branches and refers to the island's many streams.
Ramea
was known to early sailors and was an early fishing station.
American fishermen held rights here, and in other places along the
Newfoundland coast, in the early 19th century. Ship building and
outfitting were major industries here, and the local trading company did
business in Europe, the West Indies and South America.
