The history of the Yorke Peninsula, including areas like Kemp Bay, is rich with Indigenous heritage. The Narungga people are the traditional custodians of the land, and their presence on the peninsula dates back thousands of years. They have a deep cultural connection to the land and sea, which is reflected in various cultural sites and practices in the region.

European settlement in the area began in the mid-19th century, primarily driven by agricultural development. The region's economy historically revolved around farming and mining, with copper mining being particularly significant in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
