Prince Edward Island
Canada's Farm

Prince Edward Island (PEI or P.E.I.) "The Island of the Prince" is a Canadian maritime province and is the smallest in the nation in both land area and population (excluding the territories). The island has a few other names: "Garden of the Gulf" referring to the pastoral scenery and lush agricultural lands throughout the province; and "Birthplace of Confederation", referring to the Charlottetown Conference in 1864. Among some Islanders, it is also colloquially referred to as "Potholes Every Inch", a joking reference to the island's sub-par road conditions in some locations. Another long-standing nickname, "Million Acre Farm", is no longer accurate now that only half of the island's 1,398,000 acres (5,660 km˛) are cultivated.

According to the 2008 estimates, PEI has 139,089 residents collectively referred to as Islanders. It is the 104th largest island in the world, and Canada's 23rd largest island. The island's namesake is Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent and Strathearn (1767–1820), the fourth son of King George III and the father of Queen Victoria.
