The county is probably named for the Kendall River, which fows in the area and was named by Francis Lascelles Jardine (1841-1919) pastoralist and Alexander William Jardine (1843-1920) pastoralist and engineer, on 31 December 1867, after a friend of Archibald John Richardson (1837-1900) surveyor, who accompanied them in 1863. There is an unsupported possibility that this friend was poet Thomas Henry Kendall (1839-1882). [1]
The county was created by Queensland's Governor in Council 7 March 1901 under provisions of the Land Act 1897. [1] [2]

From 30 November 2015, the government no longer referenced counties and parishes in land information systems however the Museum of Lands, Mapping and Surveying retains a record for historical purposes.
