About the St. John's area
The area
Our St. John's area is Statistics Canada's Division No. 1 of Newfoundland: the Avalon Peninsula and the isthmus joining it to the rest of the island, about 9,100 km² with about 271,900 people in 2021. St. John's (about 110,500) is the capital, and Conception Bay South (about 27,200), Paradise (about 23,000) and Mount Pearl (about 22,500) make up much of its urban region. Beyond them the Avalon is a string of coastal towns around Conception, Trinity, St. Mary's and Placentia bays and along the Southern Shore: Bay Roberts, Carbonear, Harbour Grace, Placentia, Ferryland, Trepassey and many smaller places. Twenty-one unincorporated census subdivisions cover the land between towns, some of them hundreds of square kilometres with only a few hundred people.
History
The Colony of Avalon at Ferryland tells a history that begins with the Beothuk, who were there before the English. In August 1610 the Bristol merchant John Guy landed at Cupids Cove in Conception Bay with 38 settlers, founding the first English settlement in what became Canada. Sir George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, founded the Colony of Avalon at Ferryland in 1621.
Services and access
The Health Sciences Centre in St. John's and Carbonear General Hospital both provide emergency care around the clock. Placentia Health Centre also offers emergency services. St. John's International Airport has the region's scheduled flights. Marine Atlantic runs a seasonal ferry to Nova Scotia from Argentia, near Placentia.
Land and climate
Farmland on the northeast Avalon is protected by the St. John's Urban Region Agriculture Development Area: about 12,166 ha across St. John's, Conception Bay South, Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove, Portugal Cove-St. Philip's, Flatrock, Torbay and Pouch Cove.
Before you buy
Inside a town, the municipality issues development permits under its municipal plan. Around St. John's, the 1976 St. John's Urban Region Regional Plan covers 15 municipalities and the Butterpot/Witless Bay environs, and their municipal plans must conform to it. Outside towns, a provincial development permit from a Service NL office is needed to build within the building control lines of a protected road or inside a protected area, whether the land is private or Crown. Building on Crown land starts with an application to a regional Crown Lands office. In the agriculture development area, the St. John's Land Development Advisory Authority reviews applications and issues permits.
