Little Placentia Sound is an abandoned town in Newfoundland and Labrador that had a peak population of 47 in 1901.[1] It is named after the body of water (sound) that encompasses the former community located within Placentia Bay on the Avalon Peninsula in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. There was once a lead mine called Silver Cliff Mine located within the town.[2]
During World War II the United States Navy built a naval base nearby at Argentia.
