Everything about Prince Royalty Prince Edward Island totally explained
Prince Royalty is the royalty for
Prince County,
Prince Edward Island,
Canada.
The township was supposed to host the county's
shire town, named
Princetown, and was surveyed for this purpose during the
1764 colonial survey undertaken by Capt.
Samuel J. Holland.
The township is located on a peninsula extending into
Malpeque Bay from adjacent
Lot 18. Unfortunately, the shallow harbour made it unsuitable for a major port and the commercial centre of the county shifted to an area of
Lot 17 township which fronted a sheltered harbour on the
Northumberland Strait, which was later named
Summerside.
Prince Royalty is part of
St. David's Parish.
History
With Prince Royalty being largely unused as a shire town, it saw limited rural settlement by farmers since the Crown, and not a landlord owned the territory, thus an active settlement scheme never transpired. A military road was constructed from the colonial capital at
Charlottetown early on and was named the Princetown Road.
Princetown became a village on
December 2,
1901 but downgraded its status to a settlement in
1925. Confusingly, the
post office changed the community name from Princetown to
Malpeque on
November 16,
1945; the community of Princetown changed its name to Malpeque on
March 13,
1947.
Malpeque's status was further downgraded to a hamlet in
1960 and was amalgamated into the larger community of
Malpeque Bay in
1973, with Malpeque's status being a locality.
