3	Frontenac Islands Frontenac Islands was formed in 1998 by the amalgamation of two of Ontario's oldest rural municipalities: Howe Island and Wolfe Island. Both islands can trace their European roots back to New France, but it was only in the years after the War of 1812 that settlement took place in any numbers. The islands are named after two of Britain's generals from the time period of the Seven Year's War: James Wolfe (d. Sept 13, 1759) and William Howe (d. 1814), a subordinate of Wolfe's at the Plains Of Abraham and later Commander-in-Chief of British troops in North America during the American Revolution. The islands' current names first appeared on a map in 1818 when Captain William Fitzwilliam Owen of the Royal Navy conducted a naval survey of the 1,000 Islands. Today, the islands have a mixture of agricultural and rural lifestyles with a growing proportion of residents working off the islands in Kingston or elsewhere in Frontenac County.	37
4	City of Kingston The City of Kingston is located halfway between Montreal and Toronto, Canada's two largest cities. Kingston is an eclectic mix of old and new "where history and innovation thrive". Kingston's Coat of Arms Comprising the former City of Kingston, former Kingston Township and former Pittsburgh Township, the new City of Kingston came into being on January 1, 1998. Approximately one half of the total population (117,207) lives in the former city area, although the land base is predominately rural. Renowned as the fresh-water capital of North America, Kingston is a major port to cruise the famous Thousand Islands. Every August the city is a hub of activity when hundreds of sailors converge for CORK, the annual Canadian Olympic Training Regatta. Steeped in history and tradition, Kingston is the resting-place of Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first Prime Minister. History buffs can visit Fort Henry, a 19th century British Military Fortress, or one of the seventeen museums that showcase everything from woodworking tools to military and technological advances.	41
5	Leeds & 1000 Islands The Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands, in Leeds County, was created January 1, 2001 by amalgamating three historic municipalities: Front of Leeds and Lansdowne, Rear of Leeds and Lansdowne and Front of Escott. The new name recognizes and honours the residents’ major enterprises: hospitality and agriculture. The hospitality industry is built around the Rideau waterway, the lakes and rivers of the Gananoque River watershed, as well as the picturesque Thousand Islands, an international playground for a century. There are approximately 1,865 islands in the Thousand Islands divided between Canada and the United States on the basis of area. Islands range from rocky shoals to several kilometres. A few larger islands are home to year-round residents; most others are occupied seasonally. The area has been designated as a United Nations biosphere reserve. This singular honour recognizes a truly unique ecosystem and residents’ land stewardship.	37
