Surveyed in 1768 on a site the Mi'kmaq called Samook and named for King George III, Georgetown was declared a free port by Britain in 1839, growing by the mid-19th century into Prince Edward Island's second-busiest harbour after Charlottetown. Selected in 1870 as the eastern terminus of the Island's railway and a steamship link to Nova Scotia, it owed its winter prominence to prevailing winds and tides that kept its harbour open when others froze.
