Kimball is in St. Clair County, and in the Southeast Region (part of the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area). This community is located on Dove Road and situated next to I-69 and I-94. Kimball traces its history back to 1867 when the Union Pacific Railroad construction reached the site of the present day town's location. The railroad setteled a station, calling it Antelope, because large herds of antelope roamed in the area, and the tiny settlement of Antelopeville sprang up beside it. The Union Pacific began selling off its land in 1884, opening the way for settlement. By the end of 1885, the town had a hotel, two professional offices, a newspaper, several retail shops and a new name - Kimball. The new name came from an official of the Union Pacific Railroad, Thomas L. Kimball, later to become vice-president and general manager of the railroad. Kimball County was established in 1889. Today, Kimball is a city offering excellent facilities and services, and superior quality of life.
