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.
During the late 1890s gold was discovered in the area and following a rapid growth in population the local progress committee petitioned for the town to be declared and the town was gazetted in 1897.[1]
By 1898 the population of the town was 240 (200 males and 40 females).[2]
