Kimbro is an unincorporated community in northeast Travis County, Texas, United States.

History

The community was named after Lemuel Kimbro, a pioneer landowner. It was first settled in the 1870s by families from Sweden, Norway, and Germany. Most families engaged in cotton farming.[1] A post office opened in 1901, but closed the following year.[2] In 1947, the community's school closed and was consolidated into the Manda Consolidated School District. In 1954, the Swedish Evangelical Free Church of Kimbro moved to nearby Elgin.[1]
