John's population 100,000 (metropolitan population 175,000), is the provincial capital and largest city of Newfoundland and Labrador.

A series of expeditions to St. John's by Portuguese in the Azores followed in the early 16th century, and by 1540 French, Basques and Portuguese crossed the Atlantic annually to fish the waters off the Avalon Peninsula.
