Community Profile

Welcome to Kingsville, Ontario! Located along the north shore of Lake Erie in the Essex County region, we are the most southern Town in Canada, enjoying the warmest climate of any city in Ontario. We share the same latitude as northern California. The average temperature here is above 50°F (10°C) 223 days of the year.

Kingsville values its rich history, agricultural roots, and strong community spirit. Our proximity to the busiest border crossing in North America means our residents enjoy the quiet charm of small-town living, with big-city conveniences just a short drive away.

This Town is an intriguing blend of Victorian-era architecture and modern design. We're surrounded by natural beauty. We have 45 hectares of parkland, a marina, several tranquil beaches, and a connecting active-transportation trail that makes us the perfect place to explore by foot, bike, or boat.

Four estate wineries call our community "home," including the largest privately owned estate winery in Canada, Pelee Island Winery. Our craft breweries, restaurants, museums, chocolatier, eclectic retail experiences, and Tripadvisor Traveler's Choice Award-winning The Grove Hotel, offer visitors and residents hometown service and charm.

Together with the Municipality of Leamington, Kingsville hosts the largest concentration of vegetable greenhouses in North America, producing tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, strawberries, flowers and potted plants. Our field farmers enjoy a long growing season, and you can find their fresh fruits and vegetables at roadside produce stands and local on-farm markets.
