It is situated off of route 340, which runs from Lewisporte to Twillingate island, aptly named "Road to the Isles". A bay separates Baytona from a neighboring town called Birchy Bay. The first settlers of Baytona were fishermen, with women mainly staying home to raise children; however, with a depletion in cod stocks and lobsters, there was a shift away from the fishing industry. Currently, the majority of people living in Baytona made a living from the forestry industry{{Citation needed|date=June 2007}}. However, with the recent shutdown of Abitibi and the Grand Falls newsprint mill, many are left in hard economic situations. According to the 2006 census there are 276 residents, with a 15.1% population loss between 2001 and 2006 [2] Baytona has a fire department, town council and a recreation committee. There is currently one running convenience store. The community has a playground, and a basketball court. The town also has an Anglican and a Pentecostal church. Name changeOriginally, Baytona was known as "Birchy Bay North". In 1958 the name was changed to "Gayside" to help the flow of mail delivery. The name was a play on the word "gay", which at that time meant happy, implying that Gayside was the more pleasant of the two communities. However, in 1985, due to a change in definition of the word "gay", and subsequent joking and harassment of neighbouring communities, the name of the town was, once again, changed from "Gayside" to "Baytona".[3] References1. ^ {{NLDivision8}}2. ^2006 Census 3. ^The History Of Baytona 1 : Towns in Newfoundland and Labrador |
