Charlottetown
Charlottetown is the capital of Prince Edward Island, and its largest city. Its main claim to fame is hosting the Charlottetown Conference in 1864, where the idea of Canada as a nation was first discussed and debated, giving the town its motto: Cunabula Foederis, or ‘Birthplace of Confederation.’ Province House, which was the site of the conference, is now the home of the provincial legislature, and is a popular attraction. The historic downtown area includes the original 500 lots surveyed by Captain Samuel Holland in 1764. A number of houses and buildings in the area date back to the Victorian era. There are plenty of art galleries to visit, as well.
