The City of Kingston has created an online mapping application called Snapshot Kingston, that allows people to easily explore nearly 150 years of Kingston history using maps and aerial images.
Users can enter an address and view related historic maps and aerial photos at that spatial location dating back to 1865. They then can simply move the slider along the bar to discover how things have changed since over time.

A list of selected historical maps and images with facts about Kingston from various time periods have been prepared, so users can compare a given year’s imagery and maps with current aerial photography. https://www.cityofkingston.ca/explore/maps/historical
The introduction of Snapshot Kingston coincided with an update to the City’s interactive mapping system, KMaps, and the mapping section of the City’s website (www.CityofKingston.ca/maps), that includes several other interactive maps including the Culture Map, City Parks, and Capital Projects.
