Keamari Town lies in the southern part of the city that was named after the historic seaside municipality of Keamari. Kemari Town was formed in 2001 as part of The Local Government Ordinance 2001, and was subdivided into 11 union councils. The town system was disbanded in 2011, and Kemari Town was re-organized as part of Karachi West District in 2015.
In 2020, Keamari District was carved out from Karachi West District. So Kemari Town ended up being part of Kemari District.
