Hopedale is a town located in northern Labrador.
Hopedale also serves as the legislative capital of the Inuit Land Claims Area Nunatsiavut, and where the Nunatsiavut Assembly meets.
As of 2014 it has a population of 583.
Hopedale was founded as an Inuit settlement named Agvituk, Inuktitut for "place of the whales". In 1782, Moravian missionaries from Germany arrived in the area to convert the population.
From 1953 to 1968 a joint Royal Canadian Air Force-United States Air Force's Hopedale Air Station was located on the hills above Hopedale. Civilian personnel lived in the main part of town. Since 1968 the area has remained abandoned other than maintenance of non-military communications towers nearby.
The majority of people in Hopedale (79%) speak English as a first language, but a significant minority (21%) speak Inuktitut.
There are no roads that connect Hopedale with the rest of Newfoundland and Labrador.
