Kevington is a town in Victoria, Australia, located south of Jamieson on the Mansfield - Woods Point Road, in the Shire of Mansfield. The Goulburn River runs through Kevington. The town began as a small settlement in 1862 when J. S. Garrett opened a beer house on the road between Jamieson and Gaffneys Creek. When gold was discovered at the nearby Lucks All and Star Of The West mines, the settlement grew to include stores, butchers, and private residences. The town was surveyed and named Kevington. Eventually the town died, and the nearby town of Mack's Creek took on the name Kevington. The Post Office at Mack's Creek opened on 1 November 1865 and was renamed Kevington on 1 October 1884 (closing in 1974).

- Kevington of Macks Creek is een plaats in de Australische deelstaat Victoria, gelegen ten zuiden van Jamieson aan de weg van naar Woods Point, in het lokale bestuursgebied Mansfield Shire. Het gehucht wordt doorsneden door de rivier de Goulburn. De oorsprong van Kevington ligt in 1862, toen een man genaamd J. S. Garrett een bierhuis opende aan de weg van Jamieson naar de mijnwerkersplaats . Toen er goud werd aangetroffen in de nabijgelegen Lucks All and Star Of The West-mijnen, werd de nederzetting uitgebreid met winkels, slagers en huizen. De plaats werd vervolgens opgenomen in het kadaster en kreeg de naam Kevington. Met het verdwijnen van de mijnbouw, veranderde de plaats in een spookdorp. De naam Kevington werd vervolgens gegeven aan het dorp Macks Creek iets verderop. Het Poplar Hotel (wat in de volksmond ook wel "Kevington Hilton" of "de Kevy Pub" wordt genoemd) heeft de plaats ingenomen van het voormalige bierhuis van Garrett. (nl)
