Here's a link to a general History of Kingston, and surrounding areas, created by the Cataraqui Archealogical Research Foundation.

The Kingston and Pembroke Railway ran the full length of Frontenac County in it's day. The track has long since been
pulled up, but the roadbed is still visible. The railway was very much a central part of the lives of residents in the
northern sections of the County.

Several good histories about the K & P (also known as the Kick and Push) have been written. More about
the Kingston and Pembroke Railway can be found at this page.

There's no point in re-inventing the wheel!
