Located on the Bay of Quinte, Quinte West is an amalgamation of Trenton, Frankford, Murray and Sidney. The city hosts the Canadian Forces Base Trenton and is an important city along the 401 corridor. Thanks to the Trent-Severn Waterway terminus in Quinte West, the city also serves as an important transport hub for Ontario.
The history of Jews in Quinte West dates to 1820, when European Jews started immigrating into Canada. Local Jewish historian Arthur Finkle notes how in 1888, the city had a high of 12 kosher butcher shops. Jews have moved into the city throughout the decades, and today, Quinte West has a small Jewish community that is served by Sons of Jacob congregation located in nearby Belleville.
We appreciate Mayor Jim Harrison and City Council for paying homage to their Jewish history and for proclaiming May 2023 as Jewish Heritage Month in the city of Quinte West.
