Kintore, Western Australia
Kintore is an abandoned town in Western Australia located 46 km north-west of Kalgoorlie along the Coolgardie North Road in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.
Gold was discovered in the area in December 1894 by prospectors Leith and Barrett. The first mine was named after the retiring Governor of South Australia Algernon Keith-Falconer, 9th Earl of Kintore, who was visiting Western Australia at the time. Following a rapid growth in population the local progress committee petitioned for the town to be declared and the town was gazetted in 1897.
By 1898 the population of the town was 240.
