| | Kingston, Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Canada's largest group of federal prisons, including Kingston Penitentiary, is located within the city or in the immediate area. |
 | | During the War of 1812, Kingston was the base for the Lake Ontario division of the Great Lakes British naval fleet and engaged in a vigorous arms race with the American fleet based at Sackett's Harbor, New York for control of Lake Ontario. |
 | | 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. |
