Kincardine Information

Kincardine, a community of 6,000 residents, is located on the shores of Lake Huron in the province of Ontario. The town was founded in 1848 as Penetangore, sharing a name with the river it bordered, but was later changed to Kincardine in 1858 and amalgamated into a municipality in 1999. A pair of Scottish and English brothers-in-law founded the town, which explains the lasting Scottish influence.
