Situated on land once own by prominent citizens N. McCauley and A.
Wilson, Prince Charles was first subdivided in 1905 and was annexed in 1910.

This is a primarily residential area and is characterized by small households and generally older residents. Civic ward: Anirniq. District: Central. City boundary records effective 1981-10-01.
