[email protected] “Study Area” refers to the parts of North King’s Town under discussion NORTH KING’S TOWN Page 2 of 196 “[The site of Frontenac School on Cowdy at Adelaide Streets] is on an eminence, which commands a view of the whole city and of the district for miles around. From the first flat can be distinctly seen the G.T.R. bridge at Kingston Mills and the lapping waters of the historic Cataraqui river can be traced from its meeting with the majestic St Lawrence almost to Kingston Mills six miles away. Far down in the township of Pittsburg, as far as the eye can see, can be viewed greenclad slopes extending to so great a distance that their outline is lost in the blue haze of the atmosphere. To the north the same view is presented while to the west the grandeur of the outlook is past description. The scene from the building is kaleidoscopic in character and the view from its apex will surpass anything at present in existence in the city.” Daily British Whig, 13 June 1896 NORTH KING’S TOWN Page 3 of 196 Table of Contents Years 10,000 BCE – 1200 AD ......................................................................................... 9 Years 1600-1673 ........................................................................................................... 10 Years 1673-1758 ..........................................................................................................
