Frontenac Islands is a township located in Frontenac County, Ontario, Canada, that encompasses five islands at the beginning of the Saint Lawrence River near the outlet of Lake Ontario: Bayfield, Garden, Hickory, Horseshoe, Howe, Wolfe and Simcoe. The township was formed in 1998 when Howe Island Township and Wolfe Island Township were merged as part of the county's reorganization. ==Communities== Only Wolfe Island has a recognizable concentrated settlement: the village of Marysville, with around 400 inhabitants. The rest of the population is dispersed. In the Nineteenth Century, the islands had much larger populations, and other villages such as Port Alexandria, Port Metcalf and Scotch Settlement (all on Wolfe Island) existed. These communities are now no more than names on the map Note: There were no "villages" at Pot Alexandria, Port Metcalf or the Scotch Settlement. The Scotch Settlement was a farming area encompassing approximately 3,000 acres which was settled in the 1820s by Scottish clansmen moving west from Glengarry county. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frontenac Islands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
