It was named after Michael Carty, the first member for the district in the Newfoundland Legislative Assembly.[2] Cartyville was mainly a farming community and by the 1950s had become the largest potato growing area in Newfoundland. Almost all farmers in the community were members of the Cartyville Agricultural Society.
