Winterland is a small community between
Garnish and Marystown on the ankle of the Burin Peninsula. Winterland
is the only inland community on the Burin Peninsula.
In 1939 the government resettled people into
Winterland from the islands around Placentia Bay and Fortune Bay.
In the Winterland area there were acres of land suitable for
growing crops and raising livestock. Between the 1940`s and
1950`s the community started growing, and now it's the only community on
the Burin Peninsula that farms. However, there are only four to six
families from the early settlers that still farm. The remaining people
leave the community to work in the area.
