Klemzig was one of the places originally settled by the Germans who arrived in 1838. At the time they established a small village near the River Torrens and named it after their home village back in Germany which today is now part of Poland and called Klępsk.

For many years, the original German cemetery at Klemzig was neglected and overgrown. In 1983, by an Act of Parliament, the site was set aside as a Pioneer Memorial Cemetery and in 1988 it was re-dedicated after its restoration.
