Lodge Bay came from the name Ranger Lodge which was settled by Captain George Cartwright in the 16th century. Ranger was the name of his first ship and Lodge was the name of their homes in England at that time. It later became the winter home of fishermen from Conception Bay, who had summer fishing stations off of Cape Charles and Camp Islands. The main surname "Pye", came from the English who moved to Cape Charles after staying at Conception Bay.
