Named after Innokenty Temofeevich Zimin who first took up farming at Adelaide River in 1929 along with five other Russians. Block 210 on the Katherine River was thrown open in 1931 and was eventually acquired entirely by Zimin in 1936. He grew cotton, peanuts, millet and vegetables on the farm until its sale in the early 1970's. He died unmarried in Katherine in 1974. |
