    Kitchener, Ontario, incorporated as a city in 1912, population 256,885 (2021 census), 233,222 (2016 census).

The twin cities of Kitchener-Waterloo are located in central southwestern Ontario, 105 km southwest of Toronto.

Kitchener (originally named Berlin), the larger of the two, was the county seat (1853), judicial and financial centre of Waterloo County from 1853 to 1973. It continues to have a predominant influence in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, which was formed in 1973 by combining several communities and cities, including Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge.
