Georgetown is a community located within the municipality of Three Rivers in Kings County, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Brudenell Point was the location of the first permanent Acadian settlement; French colonists called the island Ile-Saint-Jean.

Here, entrepreneur Jean Pierre Roma landed in 1732 with approximately 100 settlers, to begin a commercial settlement to grow food and catch fish for provisioning the French military garrison at Fortress of Louisbourg on Ile-Royale (now Cape Breton Island).

Following the transfer of control of Acadia to Britain after it defeated France in the Seven Years' War in 1763, Captain Samuel Holland selected the entirety of Cardigan Point for the capital of Kings County, in a survey conducted for the Crown.

Present-day Georgetown's collection of heritage buildings mostly dates to the late Victorian Era, when the community was at the height of its importance in the wooden shipbuilding industry.

Georgetown's harbour was frequently the only port on the island that was usable during the winter months, because of prevailing wind and tide directions.

This peninsula forms part of the township of Georgetown Royalty, Prince Edward Island and extends into Cardigan Bay, a sub-basin of the Northumberland Strait to the east.
