The town is located along Route 510 in Labrador, between L'Anse-au-Diable and Red Bay.
The community has been formerly known as Riviere des François, Pirouette River, and Black Bay. It is believed the name is a corruption of Pied Noir (black foot) from the shape of a rock found at the mouth of Black Rock Brook.
