Bill, Wyoming

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bill is an unincorporated community in Converse County, Wyoming, United States.

The settlement is rumored to have begun after World War I when a doctor moved there. It was called "Bill" by the doctor's wife due to a number of men in the area with that name[1].

In 1997, Bill consisted of a combined gas station and rural post office serving local ranches. It has since been redeveloped with a hotel and diner for Union Pacific Railroad employees who take mandatory rests in the town[1]. The new development more then doubled the population to 11 people in two years.
