Howley is a town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a town. Howley is located at 49.1572°N, 57.0995°W.

Howley sits nestled along the western edge of Newfoundland's vast interior, a place where spruce and fir trees crowd the low, rolling hills and the air carries the clean, sharp scent of pine needles. It lies 37.8 km east-north-east of Pasadena, NL (from Pasadena, NL: bearing 65°T), and is situated 27.1 km south-east of Cormack. The landscape here is one of damp earth and stoic evergreen, a terrain shaped by the slow, inexorable work of ice and water, giving rise to a scattering of lakes and the meandering course of rivers that thread their way through the wilderness. The very character of Howley seems to reflect this environment, quiet and unassuming, with a profound connection to the natural world that surrounds it. Even on a bright day, a certain softness pervades the light, as if the sun itself is filtered through the dense canopy, casting a gentle, diffused glow upon the land. The history of Howley is deeply intertwined with the exploitation and appreciation of its natural resources, particularly the timber that once fueled its economy. Logging camps were its initial genesis, a rough-and-ready existence carved out of the boreal forest. More recently, the burgeoning aquaculture industry has brought a new pulse to the region, with fish farms dotting the pristine waters, a modern echo of the age-old reliance on the bounty of the land and sea. The absence of significant industrial development has preserved a distinct local character, a way of life that moves at a pace dictated by the seasons and the quiet hum of rural Newfoundland. There's a subtle resilience in the people of Howley, a groundedness born from generations of living in close communion with the often-demanding, yet always beautiful, Newfoundland wilderness.
