Ding Dong

[Attractions][Links][Professional Services][Utilities]
Ding Dong is a small town in Texas. It is on the Lampasas River eight miles south of Killeen in southwestern Bell County. It is typically known because of its unusual name. Ding Dong was named because of two early settlers in the town; their names were Zulis Bell and Bert Bell. According to historical accounts, they opened a store and hired an artist, Cohn Hoover, to make a sign for their store. The Bells instructed the sign painter to make a sign with two bells on it; inside the bells would be their names and the words "Ding Dong" would be coming out of the bell. Over time a community grew around the store, and the community took on the name of the words coming out of the bell: Ding Dong.
