| Battle Harbour Battle Harbour National Historic District Battle Harbour, Labrador Founded in the 1770s, Battle Harbour was considered the unofficial capital of Labrador, and a major centre of the salt fish trade. Sir Wilfred Grenfell established his first Labrador hospital here. When Peary returned from the North Pole, he telegraphed his triumph to the world from here. In the 1990s the Battle Harbour Historic Trust began to restore and preserve the community, for which it won a World Legacy Award from Conservation International and National Geographic Traveler. Today visitors can stay in historic residences - some without electricity - for a taste of what life was like. Battle Harbour was declared a National Historic District in 1997.
