The town was settled by Loyalists in the late 18th century and was first incorporated in 1854.

The town is home to the Allan Macpherson House, a historic property, and current-day museum to the past. It sits on the banks of the Napanee River, which runs through the town.

The primary schooling for the area consists of Westdale Park Public School, The Prince Charles Public School, H.H. Langford Public School, J. J. O'Neill Catholic School, and Selby Public School for grades 1 to 8, and Napanee District Secondary School for grades 9 to 12. Some teenagers also commute a short distance to Ernestown Secondary School to the east in Loyalist township, or Holy Cross Catholic Secondary Schoolfurther east in Kingston.

Dundas Street is part of former Provincial Highway Number Two, also know as Kingston Road, and travels through downtown from Toronto in the west and onward to Kingston in the east. Centre Street travels through the centre of the town from the modern commercial area close to Highway 401 to the downtown and onwards to rural townships south of the town.

Of the hundreds of small towns in Canada, what sets the best apart from the rest? To tell the truth, it's a subjective call that has a lot to do with childhood memories and personal taste. But we can all agree on a few criteria: our prettiest places are rich in history, rich in scenery and rich in certain je ne sais quoi, an intangible quality that seems to say, "this is where I belong". See what we mean as we profile this year's parade of ten of Canada's prettiest towns.

If you can judge a town by its main street, Napanee (pronounced Nappa-NEE) should rank among the best in Ontario. Its downtown is remarkably well preserved, with Victorian facades occupied by mom-and pop shops that still seem to thrive despite the new (and oppressive) mall at the north end of town. It even has a town square. Likewise, its older neighbourhoods are graced with tall shade trees and inviting verandahs who can help but be seduced by the residential blocks at the western edge of town and around the courthouse? Oddly enough, Napanee has yet to be discovered by exurbanite white-painters, although the restored Allan Macpherson House museum, a beautiful essay in Georgian refinement, set an impeccable example of just how it should be done back in the 60's. This was one of the first areas settled in Ontario and although a United Empire Loyalist pedigree is no longer required in local social circles, history is very close to the surface here. If you move to Napanee, it will be assumed you know who the Haights, the Maddens, the Macphersons and the Perrys were.

From stately old homes, modern bungalows, condominiums and apartments to farm houses, cottages and campgrounds, Greater Napanee has accommodation to suit every need. Homes in Greater Napanee are convenient to schools, recreation, hospital, health care facilities, churches and shopping. Our safe neighbourhoods are great places to raise a family. You will find the housing costs and taxes in Greater Napanee to be among the lowest in Ontario.
