Welcome to Bell
Bell is a town in Gilchrist County, Florida, United States.
Best known for its friendly southern hospitality and small town atmosphere, the Town of Bell is the second largest town in Gilchrist County, with a population of just under 500 residents. The town is located about 30 miles west of Gainesville, and just east of the beautiful, historic Suwannee River.
Founded in the early 1890’s, and incorporated in the early 1900’s, the town got it’s name from a beauty contest winner, Bell Fletcher, when her name was given to the first post office and the train depot, as part of the contest prize.

Fun Facts About Bell
In 1903, a railroad was built through Bell and would serve as the primary transportation for shipping timber, lime rock, farm products, and other commodities to market. The train was called “Peggy” and ran every day leaving Starke, Florida, early in the morning, passing through Brooker, La Crosse, Alachua, and Bell, on its route to Wannee at the Suwannee River. It would turn around and return to Starke the same day.
The train depot was built around 1905, and W.C. Cocke was it’s first telegraph agent in 1907. The restored historic depot now serves as the Bell Town Hall.
