Northeast Region Little Bay (Green Bay) Photos: Little Bay (Green Bay) Little Bay, located in western Notre Dame Bay, was established as a mining community after the discovery of copper ore in 1878. By 1884 there were over 1500 people living there, most working in mining. The copper mines have since closed and the residents, now numbering abound 200, are employed in logging, fishing and service industries. Green Bay is the inlet just north of Little Bay.
