Saint Anthony

      town, north of the entrance to Hare Bay, on the northern peninsula of Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, 306 miles (492 km) northeast of Corner Brook. An old fishing settlement with dry docks, ship-repair yards, and cold-storage plants, it is the home of the International Grenfell Association (a charity organization established in 1912 by Sir Wilfred Grenfell, the medical missionary) and is known as a medical centre.

In 1978 the site, which provides the earliest evidence of Viking settlement in North America, was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List (World Heritage site).
