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 too.
