Names given since Holland’s time for people primarily associated with British affairs include: Albany, Alberton, Alexandra, Cabot Park, Cavendish, Churchill, Derby, Eldon, Gladstone, Melville, Primrose, Roseberry, Victoria, Vic— toria Cross, Victoria West and Wellington.
Prominent Island Persons
The practice of honouring persons who have distinguished themselves in the provincial area appears to be less than that in other provinces. Five Island governors, Dundas, Fanning, Fitzroy, Howlan and Huntley are commemorated in the names of features. Proprietors or their agents figure in such names as Abells Cape, Cumberland, DeBloiS, Donaldston, Hills River, Lady Fane, Lord Selkirk Park, Palmer Road, Selkirk, Westmoreland River, Wins/0e and South Melville. Other names in this category are Bayfield (all three Maritime Provinces and Ontario have populated places named for Admiral Bayfield), Cambridge, Duvar, Holland Cove, Peterville, Sir Andrew Macphail Park, Brackley Bay and Coleman.
Noted Canadians
Borden, Haliburton, Slemon Park, Strathcona and Vanier Park owe their names to Canadians who are known primarily for activities outside Prince Edward Island. Carleton near Borden is listed here, although Carleton Point and Carleton Cove were given by Samuel Holland to honour Sir Guy Carleton as a prominent British military figure; however, Carleton near O’Leary likely owes its spelling to the promi— nence of Sir Guy Carleton in Canadian affairs, although it may be named for the local resident, William Carroll.
