Maps dated from the early 1500s refer to the area as R.fermoso and
Rio Fremoze. There is no agreement on the
meaning of the word, some believe that it is a
derivative of Fermosa which means beauty.
Settlement Fermeuse harbour was not settled
until the 1700s, when formerly migratory
fishermen from England decide to settle. By the
late 1700s and into the 1800s Irish settlement
increased.
