Sir William Carson (baptised 4 June 1770 ā€“ 26 February 1843), often called "The Great Reformer", was a medical doctor and businessman in Newfoundland. Carson's primary contribution to Newfoundland was the application of modern agricultural principles. Upon immigrating to Newfoundland in 1806 from Scotland, Carson set to work clearing a large patch of land near St. John's. He also began calling for increased economic support from England, a more organized fishery in the area and better treatment of the local natives. From 1838 to 1841, Carson was Speaker of the Newfoundland House of Assembly.
