KINDRED DISTRICT: Extracts from the North West Post (date unknown)
A casual glance at the soil will tell its first class quality and experienced farming has succeeded in greatly enhancing its value. These acres are now proving profitable to their owners, who since their advent have made many noticeable improvements. They join the Spalford farms, but there are no roads connecting the two districts, except one which is impassable in winter.
Three hundred and sixty two bushels of wheat off nine acres have been grown here and good crops of potatoes. The splendid paddock of Algerian oats, on the left-hand side is undoubtedly the most promising crop in the Kindred district.
The Wilmot River joins the Forth not far from here, but a steep long hill must be descended when this is reached. The scenery is simply grand, miles and miles of thick forest, with dead timber, that denotes the Wilmot settlement just showing over the tree tops.
At the top end of the Kindred, the blackberries have obtained a great hold and are a pest, that farmers cannot sufficiently denounce.
There is a fortune to the man who can provide a remedy that will effectually destroy what may properly be called the curse of the North West Coast.
The electric light was installed at Kindred October 1939 The first settlers came to the Kindred district about 1860 In 1865 land for a church was donated by John Arnold, the first building was constructed of palings and had a shingle roof In 1866 there were 28 children attending Sunday school.
On the 24th May 1890 a new Methodist church was opened, the old church building was then used for meetings. The Church was closed for worship on Sunday 23 March 1980 and was relocated to Sprent in 1984 There was also an Anglican Church built in Kindred.
