King Township turns 175! The year 2025 marks the 175th anniversary of the Township of King and this milestone is being commemorated by the King Township Historical Society at their much-anticipated book launch for The History of King Township: A Community Shaped by the Land.
The community is invited to attend the free event on Thursday, Apr. 24 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the King Township Municipal Centre, which will feature book signings, light refreshments, author presentations and dramatic readings by Arts Society King.
RSVP via email to kinghistoricalsociety@gmail.com.
Written by local author and longtime King resident Ann Love, in tandem with dedicated researcher Sharon Bentley, this 476-page historical narrative explores the Township’s unique natural landscape and the lives of those who shaped it. It is the perfect gift for longtime King residents, as well as newcomers.
