District Profile:

Including communities such as Stanhope and Covehead, this district lies on the edge of P.E.I.'s tourism heartland, where there are some of the oldest established tourism areas in the province, including a significant section of the National Park.

The district also stretches down to the borders of Charlottetown, placing many of its residents in the newest Charlottetown suburbs.

Parts of the former Stanhope-East Royalty and Park Corner-Oyster Bed ridings came together to form this district in the 2007 redistribution.
