* History
Kemps Creek is named after Anthony Fenn Kemp (1773–1868), who was granted two adjoining properties in this district. The first grant here was 300 acres (1.2 km2) in 1810, straddling Elizabeth Drive and Mamre Road. The other was 500 acres (2.0 km2) granted in 1820 and named Mount Vernon. A school was established in 1885 called Exeter Farm School after the large property subdivision in neighbouring Badgerys Creek but the name was changed a few years later to Kemps Creek Public School.
Kemps Creek Post Office opened on 27 March 1925.
