Mayoral Message

It is my pleasure to welcome you to The Town of Dover’s Web page.

Our web page is a window to our very historic sea side community

Dover is a small rural Town on the northeast coast of Newfoundland and Labrador

We have over 410 million years of history with The Dover Fault. The Digby B-18 Bomber Crash on January 2, 1942 during WW11 and lets not forget the True Love Story of two strangers (Nick and Dianne) who fell in love during 9/11 on the Dover Fault Lookout Site and was portrayed in the Broadway Musical “Come From Away”

Our Community was incorporated in 1971, with a very proud fishing and logging history, Our residents are proud to call Dover home, We take much pride in our community and are more than happy to showcase it to you all.

I encourage you to visit this web site often and let us know when you plan on visiting us, so we can give you the welcome that you deserve.

Come see our history!

The Dover Fault is where Diane and Nick Marson fell in love during their stay in Newfoundland. They were brought together by luck, or fate, but Nick says it was special.

Nick and Diane Marson's Come From Away Love Story

"The Dover Fault is a beautiful, scenic, historical place. I started to step out of the way so he could take a picture of the view, and he said, 'No, no. Stay there, stay there.' Then I thought 'I think this guy is interested in getting a picture of me,'" she said with a laugh.

The Dover Fault is one of the most important geological structures in understanding Newfoundland’s geology and evolution of the Appalachain Mountains.

The place where continents collided to form one of the greatest geological structures on the planet – The Dover Fault.
