Kingsville, Canada’s most southern town, was named after James King, its founder, and was known early on as “Canada’s Paradise Garden” due to its good climate and productive soil.

( votes)Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary
The Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary was started in 1904 when Jack decided to buy a few tame geese from the neighbour and place them in one of the ponds he created. Now it is a world-famous place for migratory Canadian geese and ducks.
In the spring and the fall, the grounds will be filled with birds passing through, using the sanctuary as a safe resting place for food, water, and shelter.
The Town of Kingsville celebrates the life and legacy of Jack Miner in an Annual Fall Migration Festival.

Kingsville Brewery
Cousins from a small town in Ontario, Mark Muzzin and Marty Turco are as Canadian as they come.
While growing up, these cousins kept busy by playing hockey on a rink or a frozen pond with the dream of one day playing in the NHL. That dream was a reality for Marty after setting an NCAA Hockey record of 127 wins as a goaltender, an unbeatable accomplishment. He continued with a successful eleven-year career in the NHL, celebrating each win with Mark by sharing a pint of beer…it became a tradition.
After many laughs, long nights, and one too many beers, the two decided to transform their passion into a business, thus creating Kingsville Brewing Co. Just two Canadian boys from Kingsville and Sault Ste. Marie believed that small-town dreams can materialize into a reality.
