Kimberley was named in 1896 after the Kimberley mine in South Africa. From 1917 to 2001, it was the home to the world's largest lead-zinc mine, the Sullivan Mine. Now it is mainly a tourist destination and home to the Kimberley Alpine Resort, a ski area and Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway that features a {{convert|750|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} underground mining interpretive centre complete with operational {{RailGauge|3ft|lk=on}} narrow gauge railway equipment. Recreational pursuits include world-class skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, fishing, whitewater rafting, kayaking, biking, hiking and golfing on championship golf courses. The city has the largest urban park in Canada. At {{convert|1977|acre|ha}}, the Kimberley Nature Park is the largest incorporated park in Canada. SunMine, the largest solar PV plant in Western Canada, was built in 2015 on the site of the former Sullivan Mine concentrator.[2] HistoryKimberley incorporated as a city on March 29, 1944.[3] It amalgamated with the former Village of Marysville on November 1, 1968.[4] Following the routing of Highway 95 away from the city, in 1972 Kimberley transformed into the Bavarian City of the Rockies to entice motorists passing through the region to visit. Kimberley's Mine was the Sullivan Mine, and it was the largest lead-zinc mine in the world. The mine ceased operation in 2001. Demographics
Tourism and transportationThe city has the "largest freestanding cuckoo clock in Canada". Kimberley is also home to a professional summer theatre which typically produces a mainstage musical at the local theatre and a free outdoor vaudeville show in the Platzl. Past productions include:You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Where's Charley?, By Jeeves, Lend Me A Tenor, Secrets Every Smart Traveler Should Know and several original scripts featuring local material. Kimberley Summer Theatre's mandate is to produce affordable but professional theatre for all ages. Productions are housed at the 125-seat "Centre 64". KST alumni include Elicia MacKenzie, winner of the CBC Television contest How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?. Kimberley is served by the Canadian Rockies International Airport that has been expanded, and is expected by many to have a positive impact on commerce and tourism in the Kimberley area. The airport expansion will accommodate large charter and scheduled flights, opening up the area to more vacationers from across the country and abroad. SchoolsSchools in Kimberley are part of School District 6 Rocky Mountain which also serves Invermere and Golden. Five of the district schools are in Kimberley.

ClimateKimberley has a continental climate with semi-arid influences and heavy moderation from the nearby mountains which tend to block arctic air masses, and produce a rain shadow. Its fairly high elevation counters this effect slightly, as temperatures are somewhat cooler and the town slightly more rainy than it would otherwise be. {{Weather box|location = Kimberley |metric first = yes |single line= yes |collapsed = yes |Jan record high C = 12.5 |Feb record high C = 14.0 |Mar record high C = 22.0 |Apr record high C = 26.0 |May record high C = 31.5 |Jun record high C = 34.0 |Jul record high C = 37.0 |Aug record high C = 36.0 |Sep record high C = 34.0 |Oct record high C = 26.5 |Nov record high C = 17.0 |Dec record high C = 8.5 |year record high C = 37.0 |Jan high C = -1.7 |Feb high C = 2.1 |Mar high C = 7.6 |Apr high C = 13.5 |May high C = 18.2 |Jun high C = 21.7 |Jul high C = 26.5 |Aug high C = 26.3 |Sep high C = 21.0 |Oct high C = 12.3 |Nov high C = 3.1 |Dec high C = -2.5 |year high C = 12.3 |Jan mean C = -6.8 |Feb mean C = -4.1 |Mar mean C = 1.2 |Apr mean C = 6.5 |May mean C = 11.0 |Jun mean C = 14.5 |Jul mean C = 18.1 |Aug mean C = 17.6 |Sep mean C = 12.6 |Oct mean C = 5.6 |Nov mean C = -1.4 |Dec mean C = -6.8 |year mean C = 5.7 |Jan low C = -11.9 |Feb low C = -10.3 |Mar low C = -5.3 |Apr low C = -0.6 |May low C = 3.8 |Jun low C = 7.2 |Jul low C = 9.7 |Aug low C = 8.9 |Sep low C = 4.2 |Oct low C = -1.1 |Nov low C = -6.0 |Dec low C = -11.2 |year low C = -1.0 |Jan record low C = -36.5 |Feb record low C = -35.5 |Mar record low C = -26.0 |Apr record low C = -11.0 |May record low C = -4.5 |Jun record low C = -1.5 |Jul record low C = 0.5 |Aug record low C = -2.0 |Sep record low C = -2.5 |Oct record low C = -7.0 |Nov record low C = -19.0 |Dec record low C = -31.0 |year record low C = -35.0 |Jan precipitation mm = 39.2 |Feb precipitation mm = 28.9 |Mar precipitation mm = 26.6 |Apr precipitation mm = 28.2 |May precipitation mm = 42.7 |Jun precipitation mm = 55.8 |Jul precipitation mm = 36.2 |Aug precipitation mm = 27.0 |Sep precipitation mm = 30.9 |Oct precipitation mm = 25.8 |Nov precipitation mm = 45.6 |Dec precipitation mm = 44.7 |year precipitation mm = 431.6 |Jan rain mm= 5.1 |Feb rain mm= 5.0 |Mar rain mm= 13.6 |Apr rain mm= 24.0 |May rain mm= 41.5 |Jun rain mm= 55.8 |Jul rain mm= 36.2 |Aug rain mm= 27.0 |Sep rain mm= 30.5 |Oct rain mm= 22.0 |Nov rain mm= 18.6 |Dec rain mm= 4.1 |year rain mm= 283.4 |Jan snow cm= 39.2 |Feb snow cm= 23.9 |Mar snow cm= 13.2 |Apr snow cm= 4.2 |May snow cm= 1.2 |Jun snow cm= 0.0 |Jul snow cm= 0.0 |Aug snow cm= 0.0 |Sep snow cm= 0.4 |Oct snow cm= 2.8 |Nov snow cm= 27.0 |Dec snow cm= 40.6 |year snow cm= 148.4 |source 1 = Environment Canada[7] |date=September 2015 }} SportsThe Kimberley Dynamiters Junior B Ice Hockey team play in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL).
