Cornwall, Prince Edward Island
The Town of Cornwall is located in Queens County immediately to the west
of Prince Edward Island's capital and largest city, Charlottetown. The
terrain tends to be gently rolling and the landscape is highlighted by
dramatic water views over the North River to the east and the West River
to the south and west.
The most prominent man-made feature in Cornwall and its key location
advantage is the Trans Canada Highway which bisects Cornwall from
east to west connecting it to Charlottetown to the east, via the North
River Bridge and causeway and to Borden and the new Confederation Bridge
approximately 48km to the west.
Cornwall's location along the province's
main transportation route between the Confederation Bridge and the
Charlottetown gives it unique advantages for many types of economic
activity including residential development, retailing, tourism,
warehousing and light manufacturing.
