Twillingate

A Brief story

The area around Twillingate has been continually inhabited for about 3,500 years. The earliest known inhabitants were the Maritime Archaic people. Major finds of Maritime Archaic artifacts occurred in 1967 in Back Harbour, Twillingate where over 75 items were recovered from the site including projectile points, adzes and crystals.

In most recent times the Maritime Archaic people were supplanted in Twillingate by the Dorset Eskimos.

The French fishermen were likely the first Europeans to sight the Twillingate Islands as early as the 1500s. They didn’t settle in the area but gave Twillingate its name, which is derived from the word Toulinquet.

With Twillingate’s good harbour and closeness to the rich fishing grounds, it grew steadily over the next 100 years and became one of Newfoundland’s greatest fishing ports.

Still, Twillingate’s story remains a positive one. Since the 1970s, the community has been linked to the mainland of Newfoundland by a modern causeway and the Road To The Isles.

Although the fishery is in decline, Twillingate has become one of the premier tourist attractions. Some of the old buildings, like St. Peter’s Church, still remain and the Twillingate and Durrell museums continue to preserve history.

But, perhaps the greatest attraction is the town’s natural beauty. Hundreds of people come each year to see the breath-taking sunsets, magnificent ice bergs and the playful antics of pods of humpback whales and during their stay are treated to local hospitality and entertainment.
