St. John’s is the capital city of Newfoundland and Labrador and the easternmost major city in North America. Located along the Atlantic coast, the city has a long maritime history dating back more than five centuries.
The harbour of St. John’s served as an important fishing port during the early development of Atlantic Canada. Colourful houses built along steep hills overlooking the harbour create one of the most recognizable urban landscapes in the country.
Today St. John’s remains the cultural, economic and administrative centre of Newfoundland and Labrador while continuing to maintain strong ties to maritime industries and Atlantic Ocean trade.
