History

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

The Kings County Gaol was once located in the community but it was moved to nearby Hampton one stone at a time.[1] The famous horse thief Henry More Smith once escaped from the jail.
