The community takes
its name from its first settler, Norman Wilton,
who moved to the area from Woody Point in 1927.
The family were relied upon to provide a way
station for people travelling to the logging
areas. For most of its existence employment to
the town has been limited to logging, to supply
the local sawmills and for pulpwood.
After
Gros Morne National Park was established, tourism has
become an important industry to the town. The
community is just south of the park boundary and
the Bonne Bay Development Association has
established a museum and a pioneer village
there. The community also provides some tourism
services.
