(Incorporate into a space page) Kincardine is a community located on the shores of Lake Huron in Bruce County, Ontario. First known as Penetangore, Kincardine, with its strong Scottish heritage, was named after Governor General James Bruce, as was the former Kincardine Township. The first Bruce County post office opened its doors here in 1851. Both names were in use until the settlement was incorporated as a village in 1858. The first settlers at Kincardine were Allan Cameron and William Withers. In 1875 Kincardine became a town.
The Town of Kincardine, the Township of Kincardine, and the Township of Bruce were amalgamated to form the Municipality of Kincardine in 1999. The former town is Ward 1 within the current municipal boundaries. In addition to the main population centre of Kincardine itself, the municipality also contains the smaller communities of Armow, Baie du Dore, Bervie, Glammis, Inverhuron, Millarton, North Bruce, Tiverton, and Underwood.
