Seal Cove was first settled in 1785 likely by a fugitive named Wheeler who associated with counterfeiters named Ball, Gates and Woodbury from the St. Croix area.[6]

On June 9 1813, Edward Snow sailed the Weazel to Seal Cove to hide from pursuing ships after his theft of sugar and household items as part of the War of 1812.[7]

Formerly a separate village, Seal Cove was amalgamated into the newly formed village of Grand Manan in 1995.[8]
