Stratford Prince Edward Island

Stratford is a town located in Queens County, Prince Edward Island. It is located immediately southeast of the city of Charlottetown. Stratford recorded a population of 10,927 in the 2021 census. On April 1, 1995, the incorporated communities of Bunbury, Cross Roads, Keppoch-Kinlock, and Southport amalgamated to form the Town of Stratford. The name Stratford is derived from the Stratford Road, a 4 km (2.5 mi) suburban road connecting Bunbury via Southport with Cross Roads. The town is the third-largest municipality in the province and has experienced population growth in recent decades since improvements were made to the Hillsborough River Bridge connecting the town with Charlottettown. In early times there had been Mi'kmaq summer camping areas, and during the French regime several families were recorded in the 1752 census at Anse de St-Pierre (in the area later called Keppich).Upon the confirmation of British possession of the Island by the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the Island was divided into 67 townships, called "lots"
