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.

Historical evolution

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:

Mecklenburg was renamed as the "Midland District" in 1792.

At the beginning of 1800, the County was reorganized as follows:

• 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:

In 1860, the newly surveyed townships of Miller and Canonto were transferred from Renfrew County

In 1998, the County was reorganized, and it now consists of the townships of North Frontenac, Central Frontenac, South Frontenac and Frontenac Islands. 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. The management unit became a county again in 2004.
