Kimberton is an unincorporated community and census-designated place that is located in East Pikeland Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Originally settled during the late 18th it remained unnamed until 1817.
Like many surrounding villages in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Kimberton developed around a tavern; in this case, the tavern was called Chrisman's.
In 1796, the Chrisman's Mill began operating, drawing activity to the tiny village.
In 1976 (with a boundary increase in 1987), the Kimberton Village Historic District was established as a national historic district.
