History
Kimbolton was originally called "Liberty", and under the latter name was platted in 1828. John Gibson was the first person to lay out Liberty.
A post office called Kimbolton has been in operation since 1837. The village was incorporated as Kimbolton in 1884. The present name is derived from Kimbolton, England, the native home of a local merchant.
In March 2004, the electorate voted to surrender the corporate powers of the Village of Kimbolton to the trustees of Liberty Township. The village was officially dissolved on April 30, 2005.
