Prince Edward Island (PEI; French, l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard) is a province of the Canadian Maritimes. It is Canada's smallest province in terms of both size and population. It is located in a rectangle defined roughly by 46°–47° N, and 62°–64° 30′ W.
The province comprises the island of the same name located in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, northeast of New Brunswick and north of Nova Scotia from which it is separated by the Northumberland Strait. The strait was recently spanned by Confederation Bridge.
The population is 137,800 (Prince Edward Islanders). The capital and largest city is Charlottetown. See also a list of communities in Prince Edward Island. Summerside is the second largest city and is located in Prince County, in the western part of the province. Stratford, the third largest community, is across the Hillsborough or East River from Charlottetown. Cornwall, the fourth largest community, is just west of Charlottetown, across the North River. This puts more than a third of the province's population in the area.
PEI is known for its potatoes, grown from the distinctive red soil. It is also known as the setting for Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series and more recently as a golf destination with over two dozen courses.
