Forteau is situated about 13 km northeast of the Quebec/Labrador border and includes the small communities of English Point and Buckles Point. Its name is derived from the French words meaning Strong Water.
The communities that constitute the Town of Forteau are situated along the shores of Forteau Bay. The town is one of the largest in the Labrador Straits region. While the fishery is still an economic mainstay, other industries and businesses have developed in recent years.
In 1909, International Grenfell Association built the first nursing station in the Labrador Straits, in Forteau. Currently today health care issues are handled by the Labrador Straits Health Center, which is located in Forteau.
