The area in what is known as Kensing today was founded in the early 1900s around Dee Flanniken's sawmill. Its name is a portmanteau of the surnames of two local families, Flanniken and Sansing. The population was 35 as of 2000.[2]
Kensing is located on Farm to Market Road 895 in a richly wooded delta on the Sulphur River, 6 mi (9.7 km) east of Charleston in extreme-eastern Delta County.[2]
