Kimball is an unincorporated community in Neosho County, Kansas, United States. The community is located next to a railroad between cities of Erie and Stark.

History

Kimball, originally spelled Kimbal, was platted in 1888.[1]

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.[2]

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