Künten is a municipality in the district of Baden in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. It lies on the Reuss River and includes the previously independent community of Sulz, which merged with Künten in 1973.
==History== Various finds point to an early settlement. Coins, shards, bronze and iron tools from a Roman settlement from the early 2nd century were discovered near Künten, while archaeologists discovered a burial mound near Sulz. Chünten and Sulzo were first mentioned in documents around 1160 in the Acta Murensia, which identified the villages as the property of Muri Abbey. The place name Künten comes from the late Latin (praedium) Quintinacum and means "estate belonging to Quintinus". The current form of the name came about through a sound shift via the Old High German Chüntinacha.
