Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Kinton is an unincorporated community in Washington County, Oregon, United States. It is located near the northern shore of the Tualatin River, near the intersection of Oregon Route 210 and River Road, a major county arterial that runs northwest towards Hillsboro. Kinton is located approximately eight miles north of Newberg, six miles southwest of Beaverton, and seven miles southeast of Hillsboro. The community was once the site of a ferry (the Scholls Ferry) crossing the Tualatin River between Kinton and nearby Scholls. While the ferry has long since been replaced with a bridge, OR 210 is still known locally as Scholls Ferry Road. Kinton is in Oregon's wine country, with several notable wineries in the area.
History
Kinton was named for Peter Kindt, a pioneer who took up a donation land claim nearby.[1] Kinton had its own post office from 1894–1903.[1] Today Kinton has a Beaverton mailing address.
