Kingstown is a rural village, 40 kilometres (25 mi) north west of Uralla on the Northern Tablelands in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia.
The village is at the end of the sealed Uralla to Kingstown Road. Originally the main north road went from Tamworth through Bendemeer to Kingstown and then to Bundarra. Warrabah National Park is about 15km to the west, but there is very limited access from the Kingstown side.
Kingstown was in the spotlight during 2007 when the Uralla Shire Council told residents that a public toilet was too expensive. After local residents collected 200 signatures from residents and tourists and presented them to council the toilet was erected.[1]
The main industries are sheep and beef cattle breeding with some timber.
Kingstown has a public school, church, general store and Rural Fire Service.
