England claimed Newfoundland in 1583, although the claims were disputed by France until the Treaty of Paris (1763). The province of Quebec continued to claim Labrador until 1927. St. John's is the capital and the largest city. Population: 505,000. - noun: Any of a breed of large, strong dog developed in Newfoundland and having a thick, usually black coat.
