Cobourg, Administrative town in Northumberland County, Canada
Located 95 kilometers east of Toronto, Cobourg extends along Lake Ontario's shoreline, featuring a white sand beach and maintained walking trails.
Founded by United Empire Loyalists in 1798, Cobourg received its name in 1819 to commemorate the marriage of Princess Charlotte Augusta to Prince Leopold.
Victoria Hall, completed in 1860, functions as the town hall and contains the Art Gallery of Northumberland, displaying regional art collections.
The town provides access through Highway 401, local transit buses, and VIA Rail services, connecting residents to major Ontario cities.
The former Cobourg Jail, constructed in 1906, transformed into the King George Inn while maintaining its original structural elements.
