History
Located on the Kingston Peninsula, Kingston was first settled in 1783 by Loyalists at the end of the American Revolution. It was previously the shire town for Kings County, before being switched to Hampton.
The Kings County Gaol was once located in the community but it was moved to nearby Hampton one stone at a time. The famous horse thief Henry More Smith once escaped from the jail.
