Corner Brook (2021 population: 19,333[1] CA 29,762) is a city located on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Corner Brook is the fifth largest settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador, and the largest outside the Avalon Peninsula.[2]
Located on the Bay of Islands at the mouth of the Humber River, the city is the second-largest population centre in the province behind St. John's,[3] and smallest of three cities behind St. John's and Mount Pearl.[4] As such, Corner Brook functions as a service centre for western and northern Newfoundland. It is located on the same latitude as Gaspé, Quebec, a city of similar size and landscape on the other side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Corner Brook is the most northern city in Atlantic Canada.
It is the administrative headquarters of the Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nations band government.[5] The Mi'kmaq name for the nearby Humber River is "Maqtukwek."[6]
