Kingston, New Brunswick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kingston is a rural Canadian village in Kings County, New Brunswick.

Located on the Kingston Peninsula, the village was settled in 1783 by Loyalists at the conclusion of the American Revolution.

The village centre is located at the intersection of New Brunswick Routes 845 and 850. The square features a school, church, and a general store built in 1788. The school also houses a museum. There is also a popular farmers market in Kingston which draws buyers from such areas as Quispamsis and Rothesay, New Brunswick.

The Kings County Gaol was once located in the community but it was moved to nearby Hampton one stone at a time.[1]
