Online Dispensary in Kensington, PEI

Kensington earned its original name the hard way. Early residents called the crossroads settlement Five Lanes End, since roads from Charlottetown, Malpeque, Summerside, New London and the surrounding countryside all converged right at its centre. It was renamed Barrett’s Cross in 1863 after a Miss Barrett who ran the inn and tavern at that same intersection, before finally taking the name Kensington when the Prince Edward Island Railway arrived in 1870. That railway turned Kensington into a genuine transportation hub, and its former station, designed by architect Charles Benjamin Chappell, was designated a National Historic Site in 1976 and now operates as a small museum and commercial space.

Kensington keeps its calendar busy through the warmer months with a Harvest Festival run largely by community volunteers, alongside a fiddling and step dancing jamboree, a dog show and an ice cream social that draw people in from across central PEI. The Community Gardens Complex seats up to 2,000 people in summer and anchors a strong minor hockey and figure skating scene locally. Today Kensington is home to close to 1,800 residents, making it one of PEI’s smaller towns, sitting roughly halfway between Summerside and the island’s north shore. Weed Market ships to Kensington addresses the same way it does anywhere else in Prince Edward Island, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
