Kingston, Historic capital in Norfolk Island, Australia
Kingston extends along the southern coast of Norfolk Island, featuring stone buildings, heritage structures, and a natural harbor at Emily Bay.
The settlement, established in March 1788, holds the distinction of being Australia's second-oldest colonial site after the foundation of Sydney.
The Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area preserves colonial architecture, convict settlements, and structures from the British penal colony period.
The Norfolk Island Regional Council operates from the New Military Barracks in Kingston, managing municipal services for the entire territory.
The urban layout combines original colonial lanes from 1788 with systematic grid patterns designed by Royal Engineers during the 1830s.
