Schmeer, As was mentioned earlier in the thread, Kent (And similar terms) have been used for around 2,000 years. The fact that the adjective/proper noun "Kentish" was in common use before the 1700s somewhat undermines your point about the County of Kent being formally Incorporated in 1890 (a fact of which I am dubious).
Kent, Washington was almost certainly named after the county of Kent in England.
