The first permanent residents in Deep Cove were John and Rhoda Moore and their five children.
In 1919 they bought two lots for $15.00 each, cleared the land themselves and survied the first year on wild berries, fish caught in Deep Cove and clams from Roche Point. They opened the first store in the area for business in 1927 at the corner of Burns Avenue and Second Street, what is now Panorama Drive and Gallant Avenue.

Poet and novelist Malcolm Lowry
and his wife Margerie lived on and off in a squatters shack from 1940 to 1954 here in what is now Cates Park. Lowry won the Governor General's Award for his novel "Under the Volcano".

Squatters shacks were first evident in the 1930s along the beaches of Roche Point, housing the Dollar Mill workers and people left destitute by The Depression.
