Etymology

[edit]

What is the origin of this place name? Badagnani (talk) 21:52, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Chamber of Commerce website (linked in the article) says: "The most commonly asked question about Bell Buckle is the origin of its name. Stories vary, but some believe the name came from a bell and buckle tied around a tree close to a free flowing creek. Others believe the Indians carved a bell and buckle into a tree to discourage settlers while still others believe the bell and buckle symbol was used by surveyors to signify the usefulness of the land for pasture. Whatever the facts, Bell Buckle is one of the oldest names in the county." --Orlady (talk) 22:22, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response--can you add that into the article, with the link? Badagnani (talk) 22:58, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
