Hopeall is an unincorporated town located between Green's Harbour and New Harbour on the southeast coast of Trinity Bay. It was originally called Mount Eagle Bay by John Guy in 1612.

The Hopeall river flows into the bottom of the bay, and hills up to 8.8 m surrounds the settlement.

The headland was referred to as Hopeall-Head by surveyor Michael Lane in 1775.

James Imray in the nineteenth Century also a surveyor, called it Hope-all-a-Head (E.R Seary: 1971) the name Head may have been derived from the British family name, Hopewell, although no such family was listed as living on the community in Lovell's Newfoundland Directory of 1871, shortly after the community was settled.

Hopeall was recorded on the map prepared by R.H. Bonnycastle published in 1842.
