Kinkler is an unincorporated community in Lavaca County, Texas, United States. The community is located on U.S. Route 77 (Texas), 7 miles (11 km) north of Hallettsville.
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 clsoed 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.
