The name is found in population returns of 1836, and may have been given after the forename of a fisherman.[2] In 1864 there was one family, and by 1893 there was a post office. It was a fishing settlement located approximately two kilometers from the Newfoundland Railway, located 35 miles from Placentia Junction.
It was a Local Improvement District in 1967 and incorporated as a town the same year. It had a population of 100 in 1911 and 1,160 in 1976. It has been a center of economic growth recently, due to its proximity to projects involved with the Hibernia offshore oil platform.
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Arnold's Cove had a population of 964 living in 434 of its 547 total private dwellings, a change of 1.6% from its 2016 population of 949. With a land area of 5.25 km2 (2.03 sq mi), it had a population density of 183.6/km2 (475.6/sq mi) in 2021.[4]
Arnold's Cove is home to three hiking trails[5] varying in length from a 12 km loop to a 2 km there-and-back. Bordeaux Trail is the longest, followed by the Old Cabot Highway to Arthur's Hill Trail with the Otter Rub/War Path Trail being the shortest of the three. All three trails are rated as Moderate or Easy/Moderate.

Additionally, the Big Pond Bird Sanctuary, also known as the Arnold's Cove Bird Sanctuary, offers east-facing views of a tidal inlet that is home to local waterfowl.
