History

Foundation

The first settlements located in what is now Labrador was a fishing village named Port Talbot, named after Captain Archibald Talbot an Anglian explorer who also discovered the Talbot River, founded in the late 15th century by Anglian settlers fleeing the settlement of Carlsville after attacks by natives. The town would later be named Labrador in 1526 after explorer Jorge Lavrador, from which the name Labradoria is sourced. A portion of central Labrador was bought by the New Anglian Trade Corporation, later renamed the Labrador Trade and Commerce Corporation, with letters patent from the Anglian King they maintained a semi-independent trading post that would come to dominate Argic trade with Anglia.

In 1530 an Anglian census put the population at around 7000, one of the largest colonial cities in Argis. In 1570 the Lysian architect Francis Debonnaire arrived in the city, on a mission from the Anglian court to find a location for a new capital for the newly formed Dominion of Labradoria, he reorganised much of the cheap colonial settlement into a business and government centre, laying out plans for large parks and avenues.
