Charlottetown
Tourist Information - Charlottetown
Charlottetown is Canada's Birthplace. It is also the largest city and capital of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Charlottetown is also Canada's smallest provincial capital. Historically the city was the site of the 1864 Charlottetown Conference. This meeting set the foundation for the union of the British North American colonies into the Dominion of Canada. This union is known as "Confederation" to Canadians. The Canadian Parliament has therefore designated Charlottetown as the "Birthplace of Confederation".For more information on this topic visit:
