Christopher Prince was a merchant, farmer and political figure in Nova Scotia. He represented Granville township in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1772 to 1780.
He was born in Kingston, Massachusetts, the son of Job Prince and Abigail Kimball. In 1756, he married Mary Foster. Prince came to Nova Scotia in 1760, settling in Digby. He served as justice of the peace, colonel in the militia and commissioner of roads for Annapolis County. Prince married Ann Payson after the death of his first wife. He was first elected to the provincial assembly in a 1772 by-election. Prince moved to Wilmot around 1792.

Christopher was a partner with the Prince Brothers and said to be a royalist. He chose to move to Nova Scotia to trade instead of fight against those with whom he traded. He was said to be buried in Turner Field without a stone. Fortunately he did have a stone (see picture attached!).
