Car Shipping Kingston, Auto Transport Ontario
Kingston is at the source of the St Lawrence River where it flows out of Lake Ontario. Midway between Toronto and Montreal, Kingston was the first capital of the Province of Canada. Kingston was the county seat of Frontenac County until 1998, when it separated from the county as an independent, restructured, enlarged municipality. Kingston’s nickname is the “Limestone City” for the many historic buildings of local limestone. The 2011 census reported a population of 123,363.
In the early 1780s the Kingston area became a reception center for Loyalist refugees who fled north after the American Revolutionary War. During the War of 1812, Kingston was the base for the Lake Ontario Division of the Great Lakes British naval fleet, which engaged the American fleet based at Sackets Harbor, New York for control of Lake Ontario.
Kingston’s location at the Rideau Canal entrance to Lake Ontario made it of primary military and economic importance to Upper Canada. Incorporated as a town in 1838, Kingston was then the largest in Upper Canada. Kingston incorporated as a city in 1846.
Kingston was the first capital of the united Canadas from 1841 to 1844. The city was small and lacked amenities, however, and was vulnerable to attack. Consequently, the capital moved to Montreal and Toronto and then to Ottawa in 1857. Subsequently, Kingston’s growth slowed considerably and its national importance declined.
Kingston’s economy consists largely of public sector operations. The most important relate to health care, education, government, tourism, and culture. Manufacturing, research, and development play smaller roles. A trucking and logistics warehousing industry has developed recently.
Highway 401 runs through the north part of the city as the principal access route. From the south, Interstate 81 connects with Highway 401 east of Kingston as a route to and from the USA. Via Rail connects Kingston along the main line between Windsor and Quebec City.
