Kingston

Kingston sits at the eastern end of Lake Ontario in Ontario, Canada, where the Cataraqui River meets the St. Lawrence River and the lake begins its route toward the Atlantic. Known as the Limestone City for its many 19th-century stone buildings, it was the first capital of the united Province of Canada, from 1841 to 1844. Fort Henry, built above the harbour after the War of 1812, recalls the strategic importance of this shoreline. The Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, links Kingston with Ottawa and the Ottawa River.
