Montague is a Canadian town and the largest population centre in Kings County, Prince Edward Island. The town straddles the Montague River which is the dividing line between the townships of Lot 52 and Lot 59. The town functions as a regional service centre for a rural population of 20, 000. The town supports two large supermarkets, three hardware stores, a number of independent businesses, and several fast food restaurants, banks, and car dealerships. Montague is the third largest non-suburban municipality in the province, and is the only town east of Stratford to show notable growth recently. General informationThe town is home to the Kings County Memorial Hospital, provincial government offices, and the Montague Curling Club, along with an elementary, intermediate and regional high school. The past years have seen a number of older homes and commercial buildings replaced with new, suburban style development along Main Street, particularly in the north end. A large scale redevelopment of the town's waterfront has taken place in recent years. Located 44 km east of Charlottetown and 15 km southwest of Georgetown, the town's precise location is 46°10'N, 62°39'W. HistoryJean-Pierre Roma, a French merchant settled in 1732 a site a few miles East of present-day Montague that he called Trois Rivieres, now The Three Rivers. It is now a designated historic site, which brings to life his story and how he established there an international trading post. Its interpretive centre is open from the last week of June to the last week of September each year. Unfortunately for him and his business, the French on Ile St. Jean were to be defeated by the English in 1745.
