Kintore is an abandoned townsite in the eastern goldfields, located about 45 km northwest of Kalgoorlie. Gold was discovered here in the late 1890s, and in 1897 the Kintore Progress Committee sought the declaration of a townsite for their rapidly growing community. The townsite was gazetted later the same year. 

The town is possibly names after Kintore in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, as you approach Kintore village from Aberdeen there is a small farm close to the road named Coolgardie, there may well be a connection hereto Coolgardie as well.
