Kintore is an abandoned town in Western Australia located 46-kilometre (29 mi) 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 Algernon Keith-Falconer, 9th Earl of Kintore, the retiring Governor of South Australia 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.
