St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador
St. John's (, ) is the capital and largest city in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. St. John's was incorporated as a city in 1888, yet is considered by some to be the oldest English-founded city in North America.〔Paul O'Neill, ''The Oldest City: The Story of St. John's, Newfoundland'', 2003, ISBN 0-9730271-2-6.〕 It is located on the eastern tip of the Avalon Peninsula on the island of Newfoundland. With a population of 211,724 as of 2014, the St. John's Metropolitan Area is the second largest Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) in Atlantic Canada after Halifax and the 20th largest metropolitan area in Canada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Table 1 Annual population estimates by census metropolitan area, Canada – Population as of July 1, 2014 )〕 It is one of the top ten oceanside destinations, according to National Geographic Magazine. Its name has been attributed to the feast day of John the Baptist, when John Cabot was believed to have sailed into the harbour in 1497, and also to a Basque fishing town with the same name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of St. John's )〕
