Curling, Newfoundland and Labrador
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Curling is a sub-division of the city of Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador. Located in the humber arm of the Bay of Islands, Curling, the oldest section of Corner Brook, was originally a fishing community.
James Cook, the famous British cartographer and explorer was the first to survey and record the geography of the Bay of Islands. Throughout the summer of 1767 he surveyed most of the area and copies of the maps he created are displayed at the Captain James Cook Monument in Corner Brook.
In 1956 Curling amalgamated with three other communities on the south side of the Humber Arm to form the city of Corner Brook.
The area is host to the city's yacht club and marina, a local war memorial, two public schools, as well as a number of businesses, churches, and residential neighbourhoods.
