Geography
The town is situated on the northeast end of the island and was incorporated in 1950. Bell Island's soil contains red hematite (or iron ore); this resource was the main reason for Wabana's development. In addition to Wabana centre, the municipality consists of three more neighbourhoods, namely West Mines to the west, The Green to the north and The Front (or Bell Island Front) to the southeast, near the ferry terminal.
