Corner Brook
Humber mouth and paper mill
Corner Brook in brief
Corner Brook faces the Bay of Islands at the mouth of the Humber River on Newfoundland's west coast. Captain James Cook surveyed the area in 1767, and a hilltop historic site still overlooks the harbour he charted.
Four small communities (Curling, Corner Brook West, Corner Brook East, and Townsite) later fused around fishery, shops, rail, and the 1920s pulp and paper mill. Today Corner Brook is the largest centre off the Avalon Peninsula, with Gros Morne's ochre Tablelands a scenic drive away.
