1904
At the time of Holland's survey, a capital town in each county was laid out, the supposed most suitable site for a future city being selected--and to each of these town sites was attached a royal domain or district called a "Royalty," and also a Common. The intention was that the man who held a lot in the town should be allowed a lot in the Royalty for pasturing purposes; and the Royalties accordingly for a distance of two miles from the town were divided into pasture lots--Princetown and Georgetown Royalties into 8 acre lots and the Charlottetown Royalty into 12 acre lots.
