About
Borden-Carleton, Located in the southeast of Prince County and bordering the Northumberland Strait at its narrowest point, is the principal "Gateway" to and from New Brunswick as it is at the foot of the Confederation Bridge. As a result, Borden-Carleton is the first town that visitors to Prince Edward Island encounter and has developed as a tourist gateway.

The Town's waterfront is a mixture of former industrial lands, left over from the building of the Confederation Bridge and now ripe for redevelopment, coastal vistas, residential developments and resource-based uses. Running through the Town is the Trans-Canada Highway with ribbon development consisting of residential, highway commercial and tourism commercial uses.
