This capital city, first incorporated as a town in 1855, now is home to about 58,625 people which is just over two-fifths of PEI's population. Fittingly, its economy is based on government, healthcare and education, with increasing numbers of light manufacturing, call centres, and technology companies.
Charlottetown offers visitors both historic and cultural attractions. As host of the Charlottetown Conference and Canada's second oldest seat of government, Province House is nicknamed the Birthplace of Confederation and is a National Historic Site of Canada. Several war memorial monuments can be found near Province House. Founders Hall features an interactive Time Travel Tunnel display of Canada's development as a nation. The PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation can be found at Beaconsfield Historic House, built in 1877 and open for tours. View more of Charlottetown's history illustrated on eight interpretive panels along the city's scenic waterfront boardwalk that includes parks, shops and restaurants. Or stroll past Victorian-era houses and buildings downtown. Live theatre beckons at the Confederation Centre of the Arts, and the summertime Charlottetown Festival features the ever popular Anne of Green Gables - The Musical. Cruising the nearby rivers in summer offers sightings of marine life and more historic sites. Harness racing, slot machines, and poker tables can be found at the Charlottetown Driving Park Entertainment Centre, and you can stay for dinner.
