History

Charlottetown is a city located in Prince Edward Island, Canada, and is the capital of the province. The city was originally named Port La Joye by the French in 1720 and later named Charlottetown after Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III, in 1763.

One of the most significant events in Charlottetown's history is the Charlottetown Conference, which took place in 1864. The conference was a meeting between representatives from the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, who came together to discuss the possibility of forming a confederation of the British North American colonies.
