Kearney began in the 19th century as a settlement called Dobytown, which is about 2 miles to the southeast of the present town. The town was relocated and renamed after Fort Kearny - which in turn was named after General Stephen W. Kearny. The town was however spelled with an additional "e", said to have been added by mistake.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
