History

Kimball, originally spelled Kimbal, was platted in 1888. [2]

The first post office in Kimbal was established in May 1888. The name was officially changed to Kimball (with two Ls) in 1950, and the post office closed in 1956. [3]

The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad passed through Kimball and a passenger depot previously existed in the community.
