<br />
British explorer James Cook sighted Grande Terre in 1774 and named it "New Caledonia", Caledonia being a Latin name for parts of northern Scotland. Eventually, the name "New Caledonia" became applied to Grande Terre and its surrounding islands.<br />
<br />
Locals refer to Grand Terre as "Le Caillou", the rock.<br />
<br />
The largest settlement on Grande Terre is Nouméa, the capital city of New Caledonia. <br />
