Prince Edward Island: Recreational Attractions, Kensington
Kensington was long known as “Five
Lanes End” as it was the hub of five roads from Charlottetown, Mill Valley,
Summerside, Malpeque, and Margate. In 1862, it was named Kensington and was
incorporated in 1914.
The laying of the railroad tracks through Kensington in 1873
brought about an influx of new residents and businesses and the Old Stone
Station still stands as a monument to this important institution to the
community.
Today, Kensington remains the commercial and service centre for the
surrounding farming and fishing communities between Malpeque Bay to the west
and New London Bay to the East.
