Prowseton, formerly known as Civilly's Cove, Sibley's Cove, or Civil East Cove,[2] is an abandoned town in Newfoundland and Labrador that had a population of 28 in 1966.[1] Its name was changed in 1915 to avoid confusion with the nearby town of Sibley's Cove in Trinity Bay and to honour Judge D.W. Prowse.[1] The town was mostly abandoned by the mid 1960s but had a few residents up until the 1990s.[3]
