City of Charlottetown

City of Charlottetown has served as the capital of Prince Edward Island within Canada since the 19th century. Set on Charlottetown Harbour, where the Hillsborough River meets tidal waters leading to the Northumberland Strait, it is the island province’s administrative and urban centre. Province House, the neoclassical legislature, hosted the Charlottetown Conference in 1864, a key meeting on the path to Canadian Confederation. Its compact downtown combines Victorian-era streetscapes, a waterfront boardwalk and the Confederation Centre of the Arts, a national memorial to the Fathers of Confederation.
