Overview
St. John's is the capital and largest city of the Canadian
province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is on the eastern tip of the Avalon
Peninsula on the large Canadian island Newfoundland.[6] The city spans 446.04
square kilometres (172.22 sq mi) and is North America's easternmost city,
excluding Greenland. Its name has been attributed to the Nativity of John the
Baptist, when John Cabot was believed to have sailed into the harbour in 1497
and to a Basque fishing town with the same name. Existing on maps as early as
1519, it is one of the oldest cities in North America. With a metropolitan
population of approximately 219,207, the St. John's Metropolitan Area is
Canada's 20th largest metropolitan area and the second largest city in Atlantic
Canada, after Halifax.
Economy
St. John's economy is connected to both its role as the provincial
capital of Newfoundland and Labrador and to the ocean. The civil service which
is supported by the federal, provincial and municipal governments has been the
key to the expansion of the city's labour force and to the stability of its
economy, which supports a sizable retail, service and business sector. With the
collapse of the fishing industry in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1990s, the
role of the ocean is now tied to what lies beneath it – oil and gas – as
opposed to what swims in or travels across it. The city is the centre of the
oil and gas industry in Eastern Canada and is one of 19 World Energy Cities. ExxonMobil
Canada is headquartered in St. John's and companies such as Chevron, Husky
Energy, Suncor Energy and Statoil have major regional operations in the city.
