Though not a venérable city, when compared with Old World communi- ties it possesses sufficient age to be called an old city in North America. | It was a thriving community long | before the first white man had pene- | trated into the wilderness of Jeffer-| son county, and in the early days of | settlement in Northern New York it] was a trading point for the pioneers of this section. Kingston, commonly known as the | Limestone City, owes its early start! in life to its harbor. It was in 1673] that Count de Frontenac, the French ! explorer, came in sight of the place. | He was accompanied by his Indian | allies and the possibilities of the! magnificent harbor - at once struck | the iamgination of the Frenheman. !

Beseiged by lu- faians, it was the scene of a massa- cre and the settlement was almost | swept out of existence. i But the fleur-de-lis of France was | destined not 'to wave indefinitely | over Kingston. In 1758 as the re- sult of the struggle for the empire of North America, Kingston, known as Frontenac, passed Into the | possession of the British. During two centuries and a half Kingston has enjoyed a steady and healthy growth. It has an excellent harbor, has good rafldoad facilities and oc- cuples a position midway between Montreal and Toronto. The city is particularly well known as educa- tional centre, being the home of the famous Queen's University and the Royal Military College * of Canada. With a population of 25,000 it is one of the soundest and most substant- fal of the smaller Canadian cities. Northern New York is particularly interested in Kingston's birthday celebration.
