History
The village, founded in the 1880s, was named after May Bell, the wife of a local cattleman. Contrary to folk legends, the town was not named after his prized dairy cow. It currently consists of a meat processing plant, general store with gas pumps, a garage, an elementary school, a residential hotel, a restaurant, a post office, and housing. The post office has been in operation since 1884.
