Newfoundland was settled by Indigenous peoples, including the Beothuk and Mi'kmaq, long before European contact. The first European settlers were likely the Vikings, led by Leif Erikson around 1000 AD, who established a temporary settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows. However, permanent European settlement began in the early 17th century, primarily by English and French fishermen and later by settlers from England, Ireland, and other parts of Europe, drawn by the rich fishing grounds. This led to the establishment of colonies, trade, and ultimately the development of communities throughout the region.
