In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Coverack like this:
COVERACK, a village on the SE coast of Cornwall; in a cove of its own name, 2 miles N by E of Black Head, and 10½ S of Falmouth. It is highly picturesque; and the rocks around it show veins of hornblende in masses of serpentine.
Coverack is now part of CORNWALL Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CORNWALL has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Coverack itself, go to Statistics.
