Kingston Travel Guide
Kingston Local History
The Dutch arrived in the area to create their 3rd settlement. Although they had some serious clashes with the local Indians in the area, they persevered and eventually were able to build their houses and start a good and stable farming community. In the early 1900's Kingston started their transportation system and the city grew with ease due to the natural resources of cement, bricks and bluestone
