The City was named after Queen Charlotte Sophia of England the wife of King George III. Queen Charlotte was a known patron of the Arts and an amateur botanist, who in 1800 introduced the Christmas tree to Britain. The City flag includes Queen Charlotte's brilliant burgundy crown along with the five squares that represent the magnificent greenery of Charlottetown. Queen Square - where the Fathers of Confederation met. Rochford Square, Connaught Square, Hillsborough Square and Kings Square. Blue was used to include the beauty of the Victoria Park shoreline. Under the city of Charlottetown Act on April 17th, 1855, the City was created, and we have used this date within the thread count (lines in the Tartan), 4-17-18-55.
Our Charlottetown Tartan is officially recognized by the Scottish Register of Tartans!
