Kempton Park is a city in Gauteng, South Africa. It was established in 1903 when Karl Wolff sub-divided a portion of his Zuurfontein farm into residential stands and named the new village Kempten after the Bavarian town of his birth. The name was anglicised into Kempton Park. In 1952 the Jan Smuts Airport was built on land next to the town. The airport's name was in the late 1990s changed to Johannesburg International Airport.
