History
Originally known as Mark Creek Crossing, Kimberley came into being in 1892, when prospectors searched the nearby mountains for galena, a lead zinc ore.
They staked a claim at North Star, which in later days would come to be known as the location for Kimberley Alpine Resort.
Further prospectors arrived and found a rich deposit of minerals. The “Sullivan Mine” would soon be founded, and become the world’s biggest zinc and lead mine.
Its minerals exhausted, Kimberley would go on to be re-branded as a tourist destination. The town would be designed around an alpine theme and take on the moniker of the “Bavarian City of the Rockies.”
