Kingston is a Canadian city located in Eastern Ontario where the St. Lawrence River flows out of Lake Ontario. The city is sited at the mouth of the Cataraqui River (south end of the Rideau Canal). Growing European exploration in the 17th century and the desire for the Europeans to establish a presence close to local Native occupants to control trade led to the founding of a French trading post known as Fort Frontenac in 1673. The fort became a focus for settlement. Located midway between Toronto and Montreal, Kingston was named the first capital of the Province of Canada on February 15, 1841, by Governor Lord Sydenham. While its time as a political centre was short, Kingston has remained an important military installation. Images by Sujoy Dhar
