McCallum is an isolated community on the southern coast of Newfoundland. It is accessible only by boat or by air, and in appearance and way of life is thought by some to be as close to a pre-20th century community as may be found. McCallum lies in an enclosed harbour and is sheltered between two hills. The community survives primarily on the fishery.
Whaling was also a major industry in the late 19th century. It is also about an hour and a half from the nearest road, in a similar community called Hermitage.As a result of resettlement, the community has grown and has taken in people from surrounding communities such as Pushthrough, Muddy Hole, Indian Cove, Lock’s Cove, Richards Harbour, Great Jervais and Mosquito.McCallum takes its name from Sir Henry Edward McCallum, Colonial Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador from 1899 to 1901.Aside from the traditional fishery, there is also a lobster fishery.
