Kingston, Ontario, is a Canadian city located at the eastern end of Lake Ontario,
where the lake runs into the St. Lawrence River and the Thousand Islands begin. It is exactly located
halfway between Montreal and Toronto, Canada's two largest cities. Kingston was the first capital of the
united Canadas before Confederation from 1841 to 1844, and hosted the first meeting of the Parliament of
the United Canadas on June 13, 1841.
