Description From Owner:
  • 12 mi w of Summerside in Lot 15. P.O. Fifteen Point 1858-1899; P.O. Mount Carmel 1899-1914. School district Fifteen Point 1878-1904. In 1925 Douglas said that Fifteen Point was better known, but presently only Mount Carmel is used.
  • The present name derives from the local parish which took it from the Old Testament story about the place where Elijah was summoned to Israel to choose between God and Baal.
  • Carmel was the Hebrew word for 'garden' or 'fertile ground.'
  • With permission from 'Prince Edward Island Place Names' David E. Scott 2011
