The Norse Territory of Finla (natively Nódbᵫ́ð Fínlǣ /noːdbyːð viːnlæ̃/) was first established around 1000CE in what is nathistorically the northern tip of Newfoundland.

By 1100CE, Bjarnivík was well established as a self-sustaining permenent settlement, and the borders of Vínland were fairly well-defined.
