Well the history of kimba is a very long story it started in 1938. Although it is the largest city in the southwest province of Cameroon, it is not the provincial capital; which is located in Buea, the former Germancolonial capital. Because of its size, most major roads to the provincial interior radiate from Kumba, running to the Nigerian border at Mamfe, theKorup National Park at Mundemba, and Mount Koupe to the east. The premier geographical attraction in Kumba is Barombi Mbo, a large crater lake located two kilometers northwest of Kumba's city center
