When Henry Timken sold the land to the railroad, one of the conditions was that the town was named after him. During the year to follow a lumber mill, railroad depot, grocery store, and even a bowling alley would be established in the town. The town was settled mainly by immigrants from Czechoslovakia, Bohemia and Moravia.〔(Timken History; LegendsOfKansas.com )〕 A post office was opened in Timken in 1888, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1996.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Kansas Post Offices, 1828-1961 )〕
