Kimba Districts’ formation, which was achieved through the merger of former Kimba District Football League rivals Kimba, Kelly and Buckleboo, coincided with the establishment of the Eastern Eyre Football League, which was itself the result of an amalgamation involving the KDFL and County Jervois Football League. The Tigers won the first two EEFL premierships, beating Ports in the grand final by 24 points in 1989, and Darke Peak Waddikee by 2 points in 1990. They have since gone on to add another five senior grade flags, making them the competition’s second most successful club behind Cleve. The club’s most recent premiership came in 2008. It was achieved at the expense of Cowell by a margin of 16 points, 9.13 (67) to 6.5 (41). It capped a remarkable season for the Tigers whose senior and junior colts both won their grand finals with the reserves only narrowly failing to make it a clean sweep in losing to Cowell by just 8 points.

Kimba Districts' most recent senior grade premiership was claimed in 2010 courtesy of a 2 point grand final defeat of reigning premier Cowell.
