The community of Keyport was named after Keyport, New Jersey, in 1896. Its nickname is "Torpedo Town USA".

It is the home of a small United States Navy depot tasked with ranging and repairing torpedoes for the US Navy and allies.
Keyport Bible Church, which was established in the early 1900s and incorporated in 1926, stands as the sole church in Keyport. The church's building was dedicated on May 2, 1937, and has since undergone expansions, including the addition of classrooms and a multipurpose building.
