A riverside town with deep roots

Gambo sits on the Trans-Canada Highway at the mouth of the Gambo River, about 30 minutes east of Gander. It's best known as the birthplace of Joseph R. Smallwood, Newfoundland's first premier and one of the signatories to Confederation with Canada in 1949 — the town's schools and streets carry his name.

Families attend Smallwood Academy, a single K-12 school serving the whole town, and local primary care runs through the Dr. Brian Adams Memorial Community Health Centre. James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre in Gander, about 30 minutes away, handles hospital-level care.

  • Birthplace of Joseph R. Smallwood, a father of Confederation
