About Charlottetown
Charlottetown, capital of Prince Edward Island, is a small harbour city of low brick streets where the talks behind Canadian Confederation began in 1864.
Charlottetown sits on the south shore of Prince Edward Island, on a harbour fed by three rivers. In 1864 delegates met in Province House, a sandstone building that is still the seat of the provincial legislature, to discuss uniting the colonies of British North America. The Confederation Centre of the Arts stands nearby, the spires of St Dunstan's Basilica rise over the streets, and Victoria Row keeps its brick storefronts, now cafés and restaurants.
