I've run across a Canadian stamp postmarked "Fredericton Station" and, I think, "P.E.I." I haven't found any reference to a Fredericton Station community on PEI nor a Fredericton Station post office location. Can anyone help me to know what Fredericton Station is or was? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Fredericton Station was indeed a post office in Prince Edward Island. It was open from 1875 to 1969. I don't know its exact location, except that it was in Queens County.

Hi,

From Wikipedia, its name was changed from Fredericton Station to just Fredericton in 1972.

Thank you both!
The info about Queens County got me to the exact info on Fredericton Station!
Here's a quote from Wikipedia:

Fredericton is a Canadian rural community in western Queens County, Prince Edward Island.

Fredericton is situated west of Hunter River and is primarily an agricultural hamlet. In 1872 the community was placed "on the map" when the Prince Edward Island Railway constructed its mainline between Charlottetown and Summerside through Fredericton; at this point the community received a unique dual name as Fredericton Station was also an officially accepted geographic name.

The dual name was rescinded on March 17, 1972 when the community reverted to simply Fredericton.
