Kent was a ranching community which happend to lay along the rail line. The school was built by the WPA under Roosevelt in 1933. The community was never very large or strong, and the school closed in 1961, followed by the Post Office in 1962. The school sat in decent condition and served as a party spot for ocal kids until the mid 1980's, when it was burned by vandals.

Kent is still an unincorporated town, so I don't forsee much growth here. It will sit until it falls down.
