Description: Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island - CANADA - Prince of Wales College: Prince of Wales College (PWC) is a former university college, which was located in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. PWC merged with St. Dunstan's University in 1969 to form the University of Prince Edward Island. PWC traces its history to 1804 when land was set aside by Lieutenant-Governor Edmund Fanning for a college - the colony's first. In 1821 a district school called the National School opened on the site located on Kent Street in the east end of Charlottetown. In 1835 Central Academy opened on a site along Grafton Street, immediately south of the National School. The National School closed in the early 1850s and the provincial Normal School for training teachers opened on the site in 1856. In 1860 the Central Academy was upgraded and renamed Prince of Wales College (PWC) in honor of a visit to the colony that year by the Prince of Wales, later to become King Edward VII. In 1879, PWC became co-educational, and the Normal School was merged into the institution. This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition, but the card may have slightly been trimmed. No. 115237 V6.
