4 days ago
The Town of Harbour Grace is located on Route 70 in scenic Conception Bay approximately 33 km from the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) and 100 km from St. John's, the capital city of Newfoundland.
The Town was incorporated in 1945 and has a rich history dating back to 1517. The Town has had many famous inhabitants but none more notorious than the pirate Peter Easton. Easton, who is still regarded as one of history's most successful pirates, served as Commander of a small fleet during which time he is said to have rescued the "Irish Princess" Shelia NaGeira from the Dutch.
The Town has a rich aviation history due to the development of an airfield in the 1920's. One of the most celebrated figures was Amelia Earhart who, in 1932, departed from Harbour Grace to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. To commemorate the Town's aviation history, the Spirit of Harbour Grace, a DC -3 airplane with call sign CF-QB1 currently sits on the banks of the harbour.
Over the years, the Town has established a strong commercial base and with its rich history offers its 2,796 residents a great balance of modern conveniences with quaint country living. In recent years the Town has become a preferred destination for the many tourists visiting the area to enjoy its attractions. From the pirating fights of Peter Easton and the pioneering flights of Amelia Earhart to historical sites and buildings, Harbour Grace has long been the centre of excitement, adventure and beauty.
