The community which would later be named as "Timblin" had its genesis in the arrival, during the early 1800s, of several pioneer settlers in Perry Township: James McClelland, Benjamin Ions, David Hamilton. Elijah Ekis, Michael Lantz and William Smith then arrived in 1815. In 1843, Smith relocated with his sons to land that would later become part of Timblin. The town's name, according to The Brookville American, would subsequently be chosen to honor Andy Timblin, the town's postmaster during the mid-1880s. Timblin's father, A. Timblin, had built a log cabin, in or before 1840, near the same area where the Smith family had settled, and had then begun farming the land there.
