Founded in 1878 and incorporated in 1966, the town of Little Bay is a historic mining community which boomed during the last decades of the 19th century and declined due to the loss of its primary industry and disaster by fires at the turn of the 20th century.

Some towns near Little Bay include Beachside, St Patrick's, Little Bay Islands, and the main center for Green Bay, Springdale.
