Nimbi Jodha was established in the 16th century (1627). This village is named after the first settlers i.e. a Rajput family from the clan of Jodha Abhyaram ji. The story behind the name "Nimbi" is that When Abhayram ji's group are resting under the tree of Kair they saw a Sheep under the tree of a Khejri, sheep gave birth a lamb and there was a wolf. Wolf want to catch the new born lamb but Sheep was fearless and ready to fight with Wolf, Wolf roaming around the Khejri tree but he can't catch the lamb and Wolf was gone. That time Bheel man in Abhyaram ji's group said "Ni-Bi"("Ni" means Nahi(No) & "Bi" means Dar(fear)), this place is fearless So he given the name NIMBI.
