Cupids

Also known as Cuper's Cove

Cupids, originally Cuper's Cove, is a town on Conception Bay in Newfoundland, Canada. John Guy founded it in 1610 for the London and Bristol Company as the first English colony in Newfoundland, one of the earliest in North America after Jamestown. Excavations since 1995 have uncovered the remains of the original plantation.
