Prince Edward Island Cities with Hotels
All Countries > Canada > Prince Edward Island Many of the islanders are farmers, carrying on a mixed livestock and crop agriculture. The fact that almost one million acres, or nearly three-fourths of the island, was once farmland has given it the nicknames of the Million-Acre Farm and the Garden of the Gulf. Potatoes are a major crop. "Prince Edward Island," Microsoft® Encarta® 97 Encyclopedia.
