Unfortunately, I do not have additional information about this particular event. However, in the late 1860s, the colony examined the possibility of becoming a discrete dominion unto itself. It also entertained delegations from the United States. The United States was interested in Prince Edward Island joining the United States. 
 I"m sorry the information about the Etymology isn't available, but I have tons of information about the history if you like? 
 You're welcome. 
 Sure! in 1867 Prince Edward Island didn't find the terms of union favorable and chose to remain a colony of the United Kingdom. 
 Nice! Now what can you tell me about its etymology?
