Charlottetown is the capital city of Prince Edward Island, and is called the "Birthplace of Confederation" after the historic 1864 Charlottetown Conference which led to Confederation. Charlottetown is somewhat a small town with big oppurtunities for excitement. It is named after the exotic consort of King George III. Some believe the reason why this town came to be Charlottetown was because of the splendid harbor. While in fact the surveyor-general in 1765 decided that it would bestow the poor side of this island with more privileges, and thats how it became Charlottetown. The best time to visit this memorable town would be during the summer when there is alot of activities around to keep the fun and excitement feeling going. Do not miss out on PEI's International Shellfish Festival during September, it's when the town is in full of traditional music and incredible seafood to choose from, almost like a massive kitchen party.
