Kimball Area

While exploring the beauty of the western panhandle, admiring its windswept landscapes, you will find the community of Kimball. This charming oasis sits high on the rolling plains, offering the opportunity to visit the highest point in all of Nebraska (Panorama Point) and see herds of antelope and buffalo, cattle, and abundant wildlife.
Kimball began as a railroad construction camp, founded in 1870. Because of the large herds of pronghorn in the area, the railroad called the new station Antelope and the new village, Antelopeville. Later, the settlement was renamed for railroad executive, Thomas Lord Kimball.
Kimball is a focal point for traveling from all directions with Interstate 80 and Highway 30 (the historic Lincoln Highway), intersecting with Highway 71. There are tasty, hometown eateries, a number of overnight accommodations, and a plethora of outdoor activities!
