Сент-Джорджес: История, Природа и Перспективы Ньюфаундленда

St. George's is a Canadian community in the St. George's Bay on the southwest coast of Newfoundland of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The community, originally known as South Side or Little Bay has its origins in the French fishery of the seventeenth century when the good natural harbour would attract fishermen to spend the summer in the area and return to France for the winter months. Permanently settled in the eighteenth century, the community remained a fishing village for nearly 200 years until the advent of the railroad. As of 2024, a large salt deposit has been found in the region and development proposals are underway.

Mi'kmaq villages in St. Georges Bay and Placentia existed in 1594. Jeannot Pequidalouet the eastern Mi'kmaq chief of Cape Breton, who had previously overwintered in Newfoundland began to create permanent settlements in St. George's Bay and Miawpukek in the 1760s. In May 1767 when James Cook was mapping Newfoundland coast, he met a tribe of Mi'kmaq in St. George's Bay.

In the seventeenth century the French fishermen spent the summer months in St. Georges harbour and returned to France for the winter. They began to overwinter in the eighteenth century and St. Georges continued to be a fishing village "for nearly 200 years until the advent of the railroad."
