Tyne Valley, Halifax Parith

I can't resist reading from MacPhails Woods website this island history...
200 years ago in 1806 a map of PEI was drawn with a total of 1,3810,000 acres divided into three counties:
King's County - - - - - - - 4,16000 acresAre all these acres still here or has erosion shrunk our lot in the St Lawrence? Maybe PEI grew in acreage - considering the waterfront expansion in Summerside where land was reclaimed from Halifax Bay (Know today as Bedeque Bay).
Queen's County - - - - - - - 4,94000
Prince County - - - - - - - 4,71000
--------
Total- - - - - - - 1,381000
Each county had it's own town: Charlotte Town, George Town and Prince Town.
Also, Tyne Valley was in between what was called in 1806 Halifax Parith & Dartmouth Town
If only, eh?
Lennox Island was still Lennox Island 200 years ago.
