    • NOTE 1./
      The Lovell's Prince Edward Island Directory 1871: From the Collection of Donna Johnston Collings:
      Lovell's Directory was a directory of professionals and businessmen and other inhabitants in Prince Edward Island, published in 1871, with listings by town or geographic region.

      Georgetown

      A well laid out and pretty town in township No. 54, parish of St. George, county of Kings. It is the chief town of the county, and situated at the extremity of a narrow neck of land six miles in length, being divided from the mainland by Cardigan and Brudenell Rivers. The harbour is one of the best on the Island, capable of receiving the largest vessels afloat, and open for navigation the greater part of the year. Principal business of Georgetown is shipbuilding and the export of country produce. The Supreme Court holds its sittings here in February and July. There is a light house on Panmure Island at the entrance to the harbour, and a harbour light on St. Andrew's Point. Steamboat communication is had weekly with Charlottetown, and Pictou, Nova Scotia, fare $1.50; mail stages run semi-weekly to Charlottetown, fare $1.; a ferry plies to Peter's Shore every fifteen minutes, fare 2c. The New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Co., has an office here. Distant from Charlottetown 30 miles. Mail tri-weekly. Population 760. There is a Royalty attached to the town as in the case of Charlottetown and Princetown.
