Description From Owner:
  • John Terry received a grant of 3,000 acres here in 1771 which included the site of Kingston and nearby Kingston Village. The name was given because residents hoped the place would become a town.
  • When the Dominion Atlantic Railway was completed in 1869 the place was called Kingston Station. In 1916 the name became Kingston. The population increased significantly when Greenwood RCAF base was built nearby during the Second World War.

Your Review:

    • The Pippin is an apple that originated in NJ and was called Yellow Bellflower or Bellefleur Jaune.

    Its bright yellow with a pinkish blush and is presumed to be the parent of the Delicious Apple.

    This was a favourite of Bishop Charles Inglis, the first Anglican bishop in the British Commonwealth to live outside Britain.
    Charles Inglis (1734 – 24 February 1816) was an Irish Anglican clergyman and ardent Tory who was consecrated the first Anglican bishop in North America for the Diocese of Nova Scotia.

    He died at Kingston, Nova Scotia. He is buried in the crypt of St. Paul's Church (Halifax). Bishop's Pippin became the apple's name.
