Cornwall is a Canadian town located in Queens County, Prince Edward Island.

The town is located immediately west of the provincial capital Charlottetown.

The community of Cornwall traces its history to European settlement in the 18th century and was a predominantly farming community until the construction of Route 1, the Trans-Canada Highway, during the early 1910s.

[citation needed] Several subdivisions were created near the intersection of the new highway with the Meadowbank Road, along with a small commercial strip.

The name of the community of Cornwall survived although the legislation designated the new town as Charlottetown West but amid the call of some residents for a new community name, as was occurring in the case of Stratford (also amalgamated at the same time as Charlottetown South), the community decided to rename the town Cornwall once again.
