St. Peters Bay Courthouse was built in 1874.Throughout its history it served as a courthouse, schoolhouse and now it is a commuity-based theatre.

Prior to Prince Edward Island entering Confederation in 1873, county court existed in Charlottetown, Summerside and Georgetown.

St. Peter's Bay was designated to be the place of the first circuit of the King's County Courts by the County Court Act of 1873.

The courthouse was also used as a schoolhouse for grades 9 &10.

St. Peter's is very close to Cable Head, which is where the Turrett Bell was shipwrecked in the Gale of 1906. This storm was the cause for other shipwrecks in the area. The Turrett Bell was a big stir in the community due to the size of the ship and the wonderment that one so large was still in tact sitting on the shore.

Prince Edward Island has had many shipwrecks in the early years due to the many sandbars that surround the island. The difficulty for the captains was the shifting of the sandbars that occurs during storms.

St. Peter's Harbour is noted for much island history, as it is the settlement of the first French commercial settlement on P.E.I., Roma. Jean Pierre Roma also made the first roads in Prince Edward Island and they were from Brudenell Point, Roma's winter camp to St. Peter's Harbour. The Harbour is the entrance to St. Peter's Bay.

The Greenwich National Park, which is located in St. Peter's Bay has an interpretative center that tells the history of the area.

When the railway service on Prince Edward Island was finished all the railway ties were picked up and a walking and bike trail was completed. This trail is called “Confederation Trail”. The portion that runs along the St. Peter's Bay and into the village is one of the most picturesque on the island.

Be sure to visit the St. Peter's Theatre and ask about the ghost of “Effie”who use to wave to every train that ran through St. Peter's Bay.

If you are interested in having a good time be sure to call for reservations as it is a popular event in the eastern region of Prince Edward Island.
