History of the Newfoundland Tartan
The official Newfoundland and Labrador tartan was created in 1955 by St. John’s Water Street shopkeeper Samuel Wilansky. Inspired by Sir Cavendish Boyle’s provincial anthem, Ode to Newfoundland, he designed the pattern to capture the island’s natural beauty and history in woven thread. It was officially registered with the Court of the Lord Lyon, King of Arms of Scotland, in 1973 (International Tartan Index No. 1543).
Each color in the tartan holds specific symbolism:
  • Green: Represents the pine-clad hills.
  • Gold: Represents the sun’s rays crowning the landscape.
  • White: Represents the winter "cloak of shimmering white" snow and ice.
  • Brown: Honours the mineral wealth of the "Iron Isle" (Bell Island).
  • Red: Commemorates the Royal Standard.
