Kimball is a city in southwestern Nebraska, and is the seat of Kimball County. Kimball is about 20 miles from Wyoming, and about 16 miles from Colorado. The population is around 2,400.
Kimball was founded in 1870 as Antelopeville, after the Union Pacific Railroad was extended through the area as part of the Transcontinental Railroad. A telegraph station and coal station were placed here on the railroad. Later, the Lincoln Highway came to Kimball, being dedicated in 1913.
