 New-Wes-Valley takes its name from the towns of Newtown, Wesleyville, and Valleyfield.The municipality was formed by the combination of eight original villages; Newtown, Templeman, Pound Cove, Wesleyville, Brookfield, Badger's Quay, Pool's Island and Valleyfield, which all adjoin each other along a 15 km stretch of coastline containing many harbours, coves and islands.The terrain of the area is barren, rocky and relatively flat in comparison with much of the province.
