Newfoundland & Labrador
Destination profile
Newfoundland and Labrador is a province of Canada. Geographically, the province consists of the island of Newfoundland and the mainland Labrador, on Canada's Atlantic coast.
While the name "Newfoundland" is derived from English as "New Found Land", Labrador is named after Portuguese explorer João Fernandes Lavrador.
History
Newfoundland has a number of historical firsts. The oldest known settlement anywhere in The Americas built by Europeans is located at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland.
It was founded circa 1000 A.D. by Leif Ericson's Vikings. Remnants and artifacts of the occupation can still be seen at L'Anse aux Meadows, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The island was later inhabited by the Mi'kmaq and the Beothuks.
