OffgridLife LandSearch : Small property on Dildo Pond, Newfoundland...

This morning I stumbled upon this beautiful little property in Newfoundland and Labrador ….

Located in a Small village called “Dildo” … just down the road from “Spread Eagle” and “Broad Cove” ….

North of Holiday Hill…. Seriously. Look at the Map below. And people say Newfies (Newfoundlanders) have no sense of humour.

Name

The place name "Dildo" is attested in this area since at least 1711, though how this came to be is unknown. The origin of the word "dildo" itself is obscure. It was once used to reference a phallus-shaped pin stuck in the edging of a row boat to act as a pivot for the oar (also known as a "thole pin" or "dole pin").

The name, then written as "Dildoe", was first applied to Dildo Island, located offshore from the present-day community of Dildo. This use was recorded in 1711 and 1775, and the name was thereafter applied to the Dildo Arm of Trinity Bay and other local physical features. Social scientist William Baillie Hamilton notes that Captain James Cook and his assistant Michael Lane, who mapped Newfoundland in the 1760s, often displayed a sense of humour in the place names they chose, and were not above selecting names that might "offend over-sensitive" readers. Regardless of the origin, the name has brought the town of Dildo a measure of notoriety. In the 20th century, there were several campaigns to change the name; however, all were unsuccessful.
