Newfoundland and Labrador, Maritime province in Atlantic Canada

The easternmost territory of Canada combines the rugged island of Newfoundland with the continental region of Labrador along the Atlantic coast.

The province maintained independent dominion status until March 31, 1949, when it became the tenth and final province to join Canadian Confederation.

The region preserves distinct English, French, Irish, and indigenous languages, including Innu-aimun and Inuktitut dialects specific to different areas.

St. John's International Airport serves as the main gateway, connecting the province to major North American and European destinations throughout the year.

The provincial capital, St. John's, stands as the oldest English-founded settlement in North America, with Signal Hill receiving the first transatlantic wireless signal.
