Kimberly is a ghost town south of Murfreesboro, Arkansas. The town grew up near John Huddleston’s diamond mine. Kimberly had a population of over 2,000 people. Wooden frame houses were built, some were made into stores, and other businesses. A bank, hotel, and other stores were also built here.

Kimberly was founded after John Huddleston found diamonds on his property. When prospectors came to find diamonds, real estate companies built homes for the prospectors, stores later came. Kimberly was named after Kimberly Diamond Mine in South Africa. Later population declined as people moved to other areas, such as Murfreesboro.

Huddleston’s diamond mine is now part of Crater of Diamonds State Park, where tourists can search for diamonds and keep any they find.
