Gander, Newfoundland, got its name from the nearby Gander River, which was named for the large number of wild geese, or "ganders," that were found in the area. The word "gander" is derived from the Old English term for a male goose. The town developed in the 1930s as a key stopover for transatlantic flights and has since become known for its aviation history.
