Summary:
The towns of Newfoundland and Labrador's Isles of Notre Dame District are some of the most historic in the Province. Twillingate, Fogo, Joe Batt's Arm, Moreton's Harbour, Herring Neck and Change Islands have been settled by Europeans for some 300 years, and were home to Native cultures for thousands of years before that time. In this A to Z guide, Dr. David Clarke introduces readers to some of the people, places, events and things that have shaped this portion of "Britain's oldest Colony," from prehistoric times through to Confederation with Canada in 1949.
