| Kingston, Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1367 words) |
 | Kingston is roughly half way between Toronto, Ontario and Montreal, Quebec along the three major east-west transportation routes in Central Canada: the Saint Lawrence Seaway, Ontario Highway 401 (the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, which turns into Quebec Autoroute 20), and Canadian National Railways' Windsor to Québec City Corridor. |
| Kingston was one of the contenders for the capital of the united Canadas before Confederation, but after a brief stint as the capital from 1841 to 1844, it lost out to an alternating location of Montreal and Toronto, and then later to Ottawa where it has resided since. |
| Kingston is represented in the Ontario Hockey League by the Kingston Frontenacs. |
