Clarenville summary
Clarenville (2006 pop.: 5,274) is a Canadian town on the east coast of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Clarenville was incorporated
in 1951 and is located in the Shoal Harbour valley fronting an arm of the Atlantic Ocean called Random Sound.
The town grew in importance after it became a junction on the Newfoundland Railway where a branch line to the Bonavista Peninsula left the main line. The
construction of the Trans-Canada Highway through the community in the 1960s resulted in it becoming a local service centre for central-eastern Newfoundland,
serving 96,000 people living in 90 communities within a 100 km radius. Strategically located between three peninsulas, Clarenville is blessed by geography in
being centrally located and within two hours' driving time to 70% of the province’s population.
The town is a natural gateway to the scenic Discovery Trail, extending down the Bonavista Peninsula to famous Trinity and Bonavista, reputed sight of the first
landing of European explorer John Cabot. The trail is a panorama of scenery, historic sites, coastal towns and villages, and natural wonders.
