Discrete Item F2982 - Voter's List 1945 - Municipality of the Township of Kingston

The Township of Kingston was incorporated in 1850, although the first township survey and plan (for Township 1 - Kingston) had been completed as early as 27 October 1783. The township would consist of the Villages of Cataraqui (Waterloo), Sunnyside, Collins Bay, Westbrook, Kingston Mills, Glenburnie, Elginburg, Kepler, Jackson Mills, Glenvale, Sharpton, Florida and Murvale. The Village of Portsmouth was originally incorporated as a part of the Township, although it separated a short time later in 1858 (By-law 91, 23 Dec. 1858). The City of Kingston, and the Townships of Kingston and Pittsburgh, were amalgamated to form an expanded City of Kingston on 1 January 1998.
