Kent Town ( 34°55′13″S, 138°37′9″E) is a suburb of Adelaide in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters. It is located adjacent to the CBD, across the eastern parklands. The suburb is named after one of Adelaide's first physicians, Dr. Benjamin Archer Kent, who arrived in the colony in 1840 and established a farm and flour mill within the area. It is also the location of a former brewery which has since been restored and redeveloped into apartments which face on to Dequetteville Terrace. Exclusive private school Prince Alfred College is also located in the area.
