Old Princetown Road

Old Princetown Road (also known as Old Malpeque Road or simply Malpeque Road) is an historic colonial road in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Dating to at least 1771, the approximately 59-kilometre (37 mi) road was an important inland commercial and military route connecting the town of Princetown or Malpeque with the colonial capital at Charlottetown. A large part of the former road is now in use as Route 2 between Charlottetown and Hunter River, while other parts remain as gravel roads or dirt paths, and some portions have been replaced entirely by farmland. A short section near South Granville is listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places.[1]
