Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada’s easternmost province, is famous for rugged coastlines, maritime history, and distinctive culture. St. John’s, its capital, is one of the oldest cities in North America.

The province uses a single area code 709, introduced in 1962. Though a second area code 879 has been reserved, 709 remains in sole use due to relatively low demand. Newfoundland and Labrador area codes cover isolated fishing villages and growing cities alike.
