Cornwall
Prince Edward Island
Nestled in the heart of Queens County on Prince Edward Island, Cornwall's peaceful charm has been enchanting residents and visitors for centuries. Founded during the mid-1700s, this quaint town was granted its village status in 1966 before officially becoming a thriving municipality by 1995. Today it boasts an impressive population of 6,600 people according to 2021 census data - proudly bearing witness to Cornwall’s history as one of PEI’s most beloved gems.
Cornwall was home to several important athletic figures. Jared Connaughton was a sprinter who participated in the Canada Games, as well as the Olympics, and Adam McQuaid, an NHL player who won the Stanley Cup in 2011.
Agriculture is still important to Cornwall, and the rest of Prince Edward Island, although other important industries include tourism, fisheries, and aerospace. There are some companies located in Cornwall, and some residents head to nearby Charlottetown for work.
