The Story Behind Bimble's Name
How Bimble Got Its Unique Name
The name "Bimble" has a fun and interesting origin! It was created by combining the names of two farm animals that lived nearby. These animals were a cow named Bim and a bull named Bill. Before 1966, this community was known by a different name: Yeager.
