As far as history has told me York Harbour got its name from James Cook as he was mapping the west coast of Newfoundland. It was names after one of his ships as was Lark Harbour the next community. I found an article published by Stewart Harvey Who was the principal of St James School in Lark Harbour which i attended. i don't remembe exactly where i found the article but it was found by doing a search on the Bay of Islands if i recall correctly....Hope this helps to answer your question....
Thanks

The province you are thinking of is made up of Newfoundland and Labrador. That's why the name of the province is "Newfoundland and Labrador."
The mainland of Newfoundland is known in French as La Grand 'Terre. The province of Newfoundland and Labrador is 156,500 square miles in size.
