It is located some 12 miles away from Mahdia along the Potaro River. The location used to be called Kangaruma Junction, but was renamed after Alan Prince, its founder.[1] Princeville was established in the late 1980s by a group of Amerindians who felt that it was necessary to create an area to develop their culture and to have access to rich farmlands. The village is a satellite of and managed by the Village Captain and Councilors of Campbelltown.[1][2]
