Bill, Wyoming

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 namecite news |first=Barry |last=Dan |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=In a Town Called Bill, a Boomlet of Sorts |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/03/us/03land.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin |work=New York Times |publisher= |date=2008-03-03 |accessdate=2008-03-03 ] .
