Kimbolton is a rural village in the inland Manawatū, strung along the ridge road that climbs from Feilding toward the Ruahine foothills. First called Birmingham, it was opened for settlement from 1886 under the policy of putting the small man on the land, as bush blocks were cleared into the sheep and cattle farms that still surround it. It serves the wider farming district of Āpiti, Rangiwāhia and Ōtamakapua, and is the closest village to the rhododendron gardens at nearby Cross Hills.
