Administrative history
The Township of Kingston was incorporated in 1850, although the first township survey and plan (for Township 1 - Kingston) had been completed as early as 27 October 1783. The township would consist of the Villages of Cataraqui (Waterloo), Sunnyside, Collins Bay, Westbrook, Kingston Mills, Glenburnie, Elginburg, Kepler, Jackson Mills, Glenvale, Sharpton, Florida and Murvale. The Village of Portsmouth was originally incorporated as a part of the Township, although it separated a short time later in 1858 (By-law 91, 23 Dec. 1858). The City of Kingston, and the Townships of Kingston and Pittsburgh, were amalgamated to form an expanded City of Kingston on 1 January 1998.
Custodial history
The Township offices burned down in 1954, and the bulk of the record prior to this time was lost. Records created from 1954 to 1998 are stored with the City of Kingston Corporate Records and Information Office.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of correspondence, minutes, by-laws, reports, petitions, invoices, financial records, assessment rolls, collector's roll and voter's list. there is also a fair amount of material created by the Kingston Township Bicentennial Committee regarding the celebrations in 1984. Also includes a letter sent to Isabel Turner by Clint Eastwood, then Mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA (1987).
