Saint John's is the provincial capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
and located on the eastern tip of the Avalon Peninsula on the island of
Newfoundland.
The city enjoys a long and vibrant history as the oldest English-founded city in
North America.
The last half of the 20th century has seen St. John's, with a long and
prosperous history in the fishery industry, transformed into a modern export and
service centre, famed for its nightlife and rich musical culture. More recently,
its proximity to recently discovered oil fields has led to an economic boom that
has spurred population growth, commercial development and has resulted in the
St. John's area now accounting for about half of the province's economic output.
