Here lies the geographical (less the cultural) border between the Upper Inn Valley and the Lower Inn Valley.

The village name Kematen probably goes back to the Latin caminata, which means "heated chamber". The place is first mentioned in documents around 1143 as "Kemenatin" in records of the Dießen Abbey founded by the Counts of Dießen-Andechs. The Wilten Abbey also had property in Kematen.
