Kefalnie was established in the 12th century as a fishing village and received town rights in 1283. Its river trade fostered growth, and a 19th-century rail connection spurred expansion. The town experienced conflicts in the early modern period that shaped its fortifications and urban layout.

Geographically, Kefalnie lies in rolling farmland with gentle hills and a temperate climate. The economy combines agriculture (notably grains and fruit), light manufacturing, and a growing tourism sector based on the riverfront and historic center.

Landmarks include the Stone Gate, the old flour mill, and the Church of Saint Elena. The town hosts an annual Harvest Festival and maintains a regional ferry on the Kefal River. It is served by a small railway station, local buses, and river crossings.

Governance is by a mayor and a 15-member municipal council. The population is predominantly Valorian, with minority languages in use among families. The area includes primary and secondary schools, a public library, and a cultural center. Notable figures associated with Kefalnie include artists and scholars who contributed to regional culture.
