Ellerslie-Bideford is a municipality with community status in Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is located in Prince County on Lot 12. Most residents of Ellerslie-Bideford live on Ellerslie Road (Route 133) which spans 5 miles from Route 2 to Route 12. ==History== The community was incorporated by provincial government in 1977, when Ellerslie merged with Bideford. Ellerslie was founded in 1901 by a local carpenter, being named after Ellerslie, Scotland. Ellerslie is currently one of the last communities in the West Prince district of Prince Edward Island prior to the border with East Prince. The community has a rich history in the fox farming and ship building industries. The Bideford Shipyard launched several sea vessels, including the last one to be christened there, the Meteor. Bideford is also home to a Shellfish Museum; as the fishery is the basis of the local economy. Over the past several years, the Community Improvement Council (or CIC) has endeavored to undertake several infrastructure projects. These projects include a new set of Soccer Fields and a Running Track. The Council also attempted to move the community towards a central sewer system from the current model of independent septic tanks for each dwelling, however this motion was defeated in a community vote, over much controversy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ellerslie-Bideford, Prince Edward Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
