Kimberley got its name from the word Kimberlite which is an igneous rock best known for sometimes containing diamonds. Normally it is the cone from the inside of an ancient volcano rising high above ground level. What is now left in Kimberley is commonly know as the “Big Hole”. The hill has gone and the volcanic pipe has all been mined out. The original volcano has been mine back to ground level and to a further depth of 1,097 metres (3,599 ft).
Kimberley mining started in 1871 by Cecil John Rhodes and Barry Barnato and continued until 1914. A Diamond company was formed called De Beer who was the original owner of the farm. The mining company name is now internationally known as De Beers Diamond mines.
