West Kinderhook is a former settlement on the border between Tipton County and Hamilton County in Indiana, United States.
History
[edit]West Kinderhook was surveyed and platted in 1841 by Silas Blount, M.D.. The village was located in both Tipton and Hamilton Counties. A few plots of land were sold; however, growth was short-lived and stopped suddenly. The Buena Vista railroad station was built 2+1⁄2 miles west of West Kinderhook, which led to West Kinderhook's demise.[1]
