A post office called Zim was established in 1899, and remained in operation until 1990.[2] The community derives its name from a logging camp run by a lumberman named Zimmerman who worked in the area.[3]
The nearby Sax–Zim Bog area is home to one of the world's best birdwatching places and the site of the annual Sax–Zim Winter Birding Festival held in February.[4] The bog was named for Zim and the nearby community of Sax.[4]
