Station: Kinde, MI

Kinde is a station on what was a Pere Marquette railroad branch line ten miles north of Bad Axe in Huron County.

In 1898, this was a regular station stop for passenger trains and the town had a day time operator/agent and a 24-car passing siding. The town became a village in 1903.
