District profile
This is a largely urban district that includes Montague (pop. 1,802), the Island's third-largest urban centre after greater Charlottetown and Summerside. The boundaries were expanded in the 2006 redistribution, incorporating part of the former Murray River-Gaspereaux riding.
Montague is the business and institutional hub of Kings County, and a number of government regional service offices are located there. The Ghiz government moved the Fisheries Department to Montague in 2010. The only emergency department in eastern P.E.I. is in the town.
Tourist attractions include the Roma national historic site, which has grown significantly in the last few years, and Buffaloland Provincial Park, which is home to bison and white deer.
