AFRICA








A large town on the East Rand, 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 changed to Johannesburg International Airport in the late 1990s and in 2006 was again changed to OR Tambo Internationational Airport. Kempton Park was declared a City in 1992 and today is a busy industrial area to which a number of light and heavy industries have been attracted, most especially to Isando, the large industrial park to the south.
