Prince Edward Island, is the smallest of the Canadian provinces both in size and population. While it is densely populated, it is not overcrowded. The Province is also called 'PEI', or simply 'The Island'. The capital city is Charlottetown.  

They say that to be a 'true blue' Prince Edward Islander you must be born here. Otherwise, you're 'from away'. Despite this divine right to citizenship, Islanders adopt all who come to stay and its 1.2 million annual visitors. They come to this gentle Island to enjoy its pastoral scenery, relaxing white sandy beaches and relaxing pace.

For both Islanders and those 'from away', the quality of Life on this Island is the best. It is an ideal place to raise a family, to operate a business or to rejuvenate the mind. The way of Islanders and their lives are clearly expressed in its arts, culture and heritage. Everywhere you will find crafts, theatres, and festivals that celebrate life here on the Island.

Visit the places described in the story, Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. PEI has something to offer everyone.

The Island was discovered by Jacques Cartier in 1534.  The Island's first residents were the Mi'kmaq. They called this beautiful Island Epekwitk, meaning resting on the waves.  Europeans later changed the pronunciation of the name to Abegweit.  The French called the land Ile Saint- Jean while to the British the Island was known as St. John's Island.  The Island renamed itself "Prince Edward", in honour of Edward, Duke of Kent (father of Queen Victoria) in 1799.  Province House opened in 1847.  The Charlottetown Conference of September 1, 1864, one of Canada's most historical events, was held to discuss a Canadian union.  Canada became a nation in 1867.   PEI joined Confederation in 1873 and is the smallest province in Canada.
