Dennis Kimberly (October 23, 1790 – December 15, 1862) was an American lawyer and politician.
In early life he bestowed much time on military affairs, holding finally the rank of Major General in the Connecticut State Militia.
This institution would have been the first of its kind, a historical Black college that predates Cheyney University.
On account of impaired health, Gen Kimberly, in July, 1852, began a tour in Europe, from which he returned in May, 1854, somewhat better, but he was far from being well during the closing years of his life.
