History
Route 156 (Palmer Road) is one of the longest continuous secondary highways in Prince Edward Island. It spans 8 miles from Miminegash to Nail Pond. Only the middle section of Route 156 was paved, leaving the northernmost section near Nail Pond as dirt road, as well as the southern section near St. Edward. The middle section is located in the Palmer Road community, and was first paved in 1981. It is home to the "Immaculate Conception Church" and another Catholic church establishment further north. The currently paved section was repaved in 2004. Sections on Route 156 north of Knox Lane intersection are considered part of the Tignish community, and sections south of here are part of St. Louis/Miminegash.
The highway runs through the community of Palmer Road, which is part of PEI's electoral district #27, Tignish-Palmer Road. This district was formerly called "Tignish-DeBlois", but renamed to include the Palmer Road name in 2007.
