This Maritime province has had a couple of other names over the years – including Ile St-Jean when it was under French control, and Island of St. John when the English got it. It was given its present name in 1800, in honour of one of the sons of George III. Prince Edward Island was briefly part of Nova Scotia. It joined confederation in 1873.
