| Lot Plan of Charlottetown, [1771?] |
| |
| In 1768, "Charles Morris of Nova Scotia began laying out the streets of Charlottetown. Thomas Wright, a surveyor, expanding upon Mr. Morris's plan, created a layout of the town with 500 lots, a central square for public buildings and four large green squares." Many changes have taken place within the city over the years; however, the original 500 lots are still recognizable and the four green squares still exist. The Wright Patterson 1771 Plan of Charlottetown is essentially the plan drawn by surveyor Thomas Wright.
