Kingsville, Ontario

Kingsville is a town in Essex County, Ontario, Canada.

It is best known for being "Canada's Southernmost Town."

The town had a population of 22,119 in the Canada 2021 Census, a 2.6% increase from the previous census figure of 21,552 in 2016.

Kingsville was incorporated as a town in 1901. It was named for Colonel James King, an early settler who was instrumental in the establishment of the community.

On January 1, 1999, it was amalgamated with the adjoining Townships of Gosfield North and Gosfield South to form an expanded municipality.

Kingsville—the country's southernmost town—lies on the north shore of Lake Erie. The town of Lakeshore is to the north, the municipality of Leamington is to the east, and the town of Harrow is to the west.

The town is approximately 570 feet above sea level. Long stretches of the coastline are elevated above Lake Erie. However, the terrain is generally flat, and consists of glacial drift—a mixture of various rocks, sand and clay.

In addition to the primary settlement at Kingsville, the municipality also includes the smaller communities of Cedar Beach, Cedar Island, Cedarhurst Park, Cottam, Klondyke, Linden Beach, North Ridge, Olinda, Ruthven and Union. The community of Albuna is located on the boundary between Kingsville and Leamington, and the communities of Arner and Elford are located on the boundary between Kingsville and Essex.
