Newfoundland Colony was an English and, later, British colony established in 1610 on the island of Newfoundland off the Atlantic coast of Canada, in what is now the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. That followed decades of sporadic English settlement on the island, which was at first seasonal, rather than permanent. It was made a Crown colony in 1824 and a Dominion in 1907. Its economy collapsed during the Great Depression of the 1930s when the British Parliament passed the Newfoundland Act 1933, and on 16 February 1934, the British government appointed a six-member Commission of Government to govern the country. In 1949, the country voted to join Canada as the Province of Newfoundland.
