Kimball, West Virginia: Coal, Black History, Greek Food, and Kronk Boxing
Kimball, West Virginia: Coal, Greek Food, and Kronk Boxing
Kimball, West Virginia is a dot on the map in McDowell County but has a rich history to rival many larger towns. Coal history runs deep along with African-American history. Legendary boxing trainer Emanuel Steward was born in Kimball prior to moving to Detroit to found the famous Kronk boxing gym - home of world champions Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns, Milton "The Iceman" McCrory, Jimmy Paul, Hilmer Kenty, and many more. He even went on to train Ukrainian great Wladimir Klitschko. Kimball has taken a huge hit in population but is still home to some amazing Greek food thanks to the Ya'sou Restaurant.
