McCallum is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is on the southern coast of the island of Newfoundland. It is accessible only by boat or by air, and in appearance and way of life is thought by some to be as close to a pre-20th century community as may be found. McCallum lies in an enclosed harbour and is sheltered between two hills. The community survives primarily on the fishery. Whaling was also a major industry in the late 19th century. It is also about an hour and a half from the nearest road, in a community called Hermitage.

  • McCallum est une localité canadienne située sur l'île de Terre-Neuve dans la province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. McCallum tire son nom de sir Henry Edward McCallum, gouverneur colonial de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador de 1899 à 1901. Les eaux autour de McCallum sont exploitées depuis au moins le XVIe siècle. Cependant, aucun peuplement permanent n’existera jusqu’après la guerre de Sept Ans, après 1816. Lorsque les Français prennent possession des îles de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, les Anglais forcé de trouver de nouvelles maisons et regarda juste au nord, sur la côte sud de Terre-Neuve. (fr)
