The town of Napanee is located in the eastern section of southern Ontario in the County of Lennox and Addington. The town is situated approximately 40 kilometres or 24.8 miles west of Kingston and sits of Bay of Quinte's eastern end. The current municipality called Greater Napanee was created by amalgamating the old Napanee Township along with the towns of Richmond, Adolphustown and North and South Fredericksburgh during 1999. Greater Napanee is co-extensive with the original Lennox County.
During 1784, the area was first inhabited by Loyalists, who arrived at Adolphustown on the 15th of June, the year 1784. Their landing site and spot of the very first Loyalist cemetery in the region has been preserved by the Loyalists. The original hamlet of Napanee was situated at the location of a waterfall on the Napanee River, and was first called Clarksville after Robert Clark, who constructed a grist mill there. Sir John Macdonald, the very first prime minister of Canada, practiced law in the town of Napanee.
