History
Kinderton was also historically the name of a township in Middlewich on the opposite side of the River Croco from the current ward.
In the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870–72) John Marius Wilson described Kinderton:
{{quote|text=KINDERTON-WITH-HULME, a township in Middlewich parish, Cheshire; immediately E of the town of Middlewich. Acres, 1, 637. Real property, £3, 936; of which £110 are in gas works-Pop., 477. Houses, 101. The manor belonged anciently to the Venables, passed to the Vernons, and belongs now to J. F. France, Esq. A house erected by the Minshalls is here, and bears date 1616. Kinderton is generally believed to be the Condate of the Romans; a Roman road, called Kind street or King street, went from it to Manchester; and other roads went hence to Chesterton, Wroxeter, Chester, and Warrington. A Danish camp of 10 acres is at Harbours Field, between the rivers Croco and Dane.{{cite web |url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/5016 |title= A Vision of Britain Through Time: Kinderton |publisher=GB Historical GIS/University of Portsmouth| website=www.visionofbritain.co.uk|accessdate=18 March 2016}}}}
