History

Kinkler is named for Jack Kinkler, who settled in the area in 1875. The community had a school by 1880 and a post office by 1885; the post office closed in 1905. Due to its proximity to Hallettsville and Schulenberg, Kinkler never had a significant commercial district; its first listing in the Texas Almanac, in 1933, listed two businesses there. As of 2000, the community's population was 75.[2]
