Frontenac County is a county and census division of the Canadian province of Ontario. It is located in the eastern portion of Southern Ontario. The city of Kingston is in the Frontenac census division, but is separated from the County of Frontenac.
History
The county of Frontenac, situated within the Mecklenburg District, was originally created as an electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada in 1792 and its original limits were described as being:
Page Template:Blockquote/styles.css has no content.
bounded on the east by the westernmost line of the county of Leeds, on the south by Lake Ontario, to on the west by the easternmost boundary of the late township of Ernestown, and on the west by the easternmost boundary of the township of Fredericksburgh, running north twenty-four degrees west until it meets the Ottawa or Grand River, thence descending the said river until it meets the northwesternmost boundary of the said county of Leeds.[2]
Mecklenburg was renamed as the "Midland District" in 1792.[3]
At the beginning of 1800, the County was reorganized as follows:[4]
- the eastern part of the islands of the county of Ontario were transferred to Frontenac, on the former's dissolution
- Frontenac was declared to consist solely of the townships of Pittsburg, Kingston, Loughborough, Portland, Hinchbrooke, Bedford and Wolfe Island
- the remaining unorganized territory remained part of Midland District
Through the addition of newly surveyed townships, by 1845 the County covered the following territory:

the Townships of Bedford, Barrie, Clarendon, Hinchinbrooke, Kingston, Kennebec, Loughborough, Olden, Oso, Portland, Pittsburgh, which shall include Howe Island, Palmerston, Storrington, and Wolfe Island, and, except for the purposes of representation in the Legislative Assembly, the Town of Kingston.[5]
In 1860, the newly surveyed townships of Miller and Canonto were transferred from Renfrew County[6]
In 1998, the County was reorganized, and it now consists of the townships of North Frontenac, Central Frontenac, South Frontenac and Frontenac Islands.[7] The City of Kingston absorbed Kingston and Pittsburgh Townships and exists now as a separated municipality.
The county council itself was abolished and replaced by a management unit with limited powers, known as the Frontenac Management Board.[8] The management unit became a county again in 2004.[9][10]
