Kent Town is an inner urban suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It is located in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters.

History

Kent Town was named for Dr. Benjamin Archer Kent (1808 – 25 November 1864), who before emigrating was a medical practitioner in Walsall, Staffordshire. He established a flour mill and farm which failed financially and obliged him to return to his profession to support his family. He sold his property at a handsome profit, repaid all his creditors and returned to England.^[2]

Kent Town was the location of two successive sites of the Kent Town Brewery the second of which in 1888 became the malthouse for SA Brewing, now redeveloped into apartments.
