The City of Kingston in Ontario, Canada
Kingston, Ontario, is located at the eastern end of Lake Ontario, where the lake runs into the St. Lawrence River and the Thousand Islands begin. The city is nicknamed the "Limestone City" because of the many historic buildings built from limestone.
Kingston relies heavily on public sector institutions and establishments. The most important economic sectors are related to health care, education, government (including the military and correctional services), tourism and culture, manufacturing, and research and development.
Of Kingston's major industrial employers of the 20th century, the Canadian Locomotive Company and Davis Drydock are long closed, and the former Alcan and Dupont operations employ far fewer persons than in the past.
