Beaverwick

Beaverwick is a Lovian hamlet of Newhaven in the State of Kings. It is located at the northern tip of Kings Island, where the proposed Highway 3 ends. Beaverwick is home to several ferries to Sofasi, Adoha, Kinley, Bird National Park and Newhaven. The hamlet was always a fishing village and an important source of economy in the state.

History
In 1938, Lovian fishermen asked for a new boatdock. This was built, at the northern tip of Kings Island, in 1943 when Governor Richard Feynman allowed the construction. Most fishermen were Anglican people of British decent. They built there own church, the Most Holy Trinity Church between 1945 and 1949. It is still the only Anglican church in the country and the only place of worship in Beaverwick but there are several chapels in forests.

After the war, population had decreased but there was too much work. The dock was enlarged in 1950. On a year basis, the dock was used by about 300 fishing boats. Also, ferries to and from Seven and Clymene came in frequently. In the mid-1960s, the surrounding fishermen houses developed into a small hamlet, that was only accessible by boat or by foot. In 1964, the present name of Beaverwick was given to the dock and hamlet. That same year was the dock's top year.

In the 1980s the fishing industry in Beaverwick decreased heavily. In those days, many docks stood empty for months. This trend continued in the 1990s. Cause for this great decline was Beaverwick's lack of road connections. When the economy started to grow again in late 2009, for the first time in 27 years, plans were made to connect the hamlet with Newhaven by a highway. This was part of the 2010 highway plan by Secretary of Energy, Environment and Transportation Andy McCandless.

Livestock
About 90% of the total number of goats that are kept in Lovia, walking on fields near Newhaven and especially Beaverwick. A couple of large farms who are specialized in the keeping of goats are after the port the most important income and expenses in the town.
