The series Mayor of Kingstown is set in the fictional city of Kingstown, Michigan, a grim “company town” whose economy revolves around several nearby prisons.

Although Kingstown itself is made up, it is heavily inspired by Kingston, Ontario, a real Canadian city that historically had multiple prisons clustered in and around it.

In the real world, the show has primarily filmed in Ontario, Canada (especially Kingston Penitentiary and Toronto) and later in parts of Pennsylvania, which stand in for the on‑screen Michigan town.
