This
municipality is made up of several contiguous fishing communities
on the North Shore of Conception Bay, between Kingston (formerly
Upper Small Point) and Western Bay. On this 5 km stretch of coast,
settlers built their homes and gardens on the banks above the
sea, and the various communities soon ``ran together''.

Kingston
was first known as Upper Small Point. It was renamed Kingston
in the early 1900s in honour of one of its earliest families.
The
nearby abandoned community of Spout Cove has unusual and interesting
landscapes for the photographer.
