Hope Place (known in Spanish as Valle Esperanza) was a small settlement in Lafonia in East Falkland. It was set up in 1846, by Samuel Lafone, a British-born Montevideo merchant, on the south shores of Brenton Loch. It was mainly populated by Uruguayan gauchos brought in from continental South America.[http://www.falklands.info/history/timeline.html Falkland Islands Timeline: A Chronology of events in the history of the Falkland Islands] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071006063014/http://www.falklands.info/history/timeline.html |date=2007-10-06 }} The area is now abandoned.
