Known as the "limestone city" due to the historic buildings built from limestone and home to Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, Kingston Ontario is nestled at the confluence of the Rideau Canal and the St. Lawrence River where they meet Lake Ontario.

The population of the city (20012 census) proper was 114,195, while the population of the metropolitan area as a whole was 146,838.

Kingston was the first capital of the united Canadas before Confederation from 1841-1844, and hosted the first meeting of the Parliament of the United Canadas on June 13, 1841. However, the city was considered too small and lacking in amenities, and its location made it vulnerable to American attacks. Consequently, the capital was moved to locations in Montreal and Toronto, and then later to Ottawa in 1857. Kingston was finally incorporated as a city in 1846.

The City of Kingston is also renowned as the fresh-water sailing capital of North America and prides itself in being a major port for scenic entertainment cruises of the intriguing Thousand Islands.
