Quinte West
Quinte West (/ˈkwɪnti/) is a city, geographically located in but administratively separated from Hastings County, in Southern Ontario, Canada. It is on the western end of the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario. The Lake Ontario terminus of the Trent–Severn Waterway is in the municipality. Trenton is the largest community and serves as the administrative and commercial centre.
Quinte West was formed on January 1, 1998, through the amalgamation of the city of Trenton, the village of Frankford and the townships of Murray and Sidney.
In addition to Trenton and Frankford, the city of Quinte West also includes the following communities:
Frankford was first settled by Europeans in the 1820s when settler Abel Scott built a grist mill along the Trent River. The settlement went under a number of names, including Scott's Mills, Cold Creek and Manchester. The settlement was named Frankford after Sir Francis Bond Head, the Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada. Frankford was incorporated as a village in 1920.
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Quinte West had a population of 46,560 living in 19,056 of its 19,888 total private dwellings, a change of 6.8% from its 2016 population of 43,577. With a land area of 495.45 km2 (191.29 sq mi), it had a population density of 94.0/km2 (243.4/sq mi) in 2021.
At the census metropolitan area (CMA) level in the 2021 census, the Belleville-Quinte West CMA had a population of 111,184 living in 46,213 of its 48,274 total private dwellings, a change of 7.5% from its 2016 population of 103,401. With a land area of 1,337.5 km2 (516.4 sq mi), it had a population density of 83.1/km2 (215.3/sq mi) in 2021.
As of 2021, 7.6% of the population of Quinte West are immigrants, 3.9% of the total population having migrated prior to 1980. 45% of the recent immigrant population migrated from Asia. Of the whole population, 4.6% of Quinte West is a visible minority.
The population of Trenton is largely Christian (54.3% as of 2021) and non-religious (43.8% as of 2021), and a small Jewish community exists in Quinte West and the surrounding area, with a synagogue operating in neighbouring Belleville. There is also a small Muslim community, with a mosque in Belleville and a recently opened mosque in Trenton.
