Water Street, developed in the early 16th century, is the oldest street in North America. It became a commercial trading outpost for the Basques, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. To this day, it remains the hub of commercial activity in the city of St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.
The street now boasts many souvenir shops, restaurants, pubs, and high-end boutiques, as well as some other commercial ventures.
Water Street is also host to the St. John's Court House, the symbol of the city's judicial system.
