Landmarks. People have inhabited Newfoundland and Labrador for 9,000 years. For the first 8,000, aboriginal peoples trod the earth and sometimes ventured out to sea. European's have lived here for over 1,000 years – starting with the Viking landing at L'Anse aux Meadows – and continuing with wider settlement in the 1600s, spurred by rich fishing grounds. Today, archeologists are still piecing together fragments of these long-ago stories, and the many historical sites found throughout this place have unique and meaningful tales to tell. They're just waiting for you to discover them.

FACT
Newfoundland resisted joining Canada and was an independent dominion in the early 20th century. Fishing was always the dominant industry, but the economy collapsed in the Great Depression of the 1930s and the people voluntarily relinquished their independence to become a British colony again. Prosperity and self-confidence returned during the Second World War, and after intense debate the people voted to join Canada in 1949.

Fishing
The province was initially settled because of its rich fishing grounds on the "nose" and "tail" of the Grand Banks. The mainstay of the province's fishing industry historically has been groundfish (primarily cod). However, shrimp, crab, lobster, Greenland turbot, clam, and scallop are presently the most valuable species. Other important catches are flounder, redfish, and capelin.
