Some interesting facts about Blue Bell
Full Description:
Blue Bell was originally known as Pigeontown, Pennsylvania, after the large flocks of the now-extinct passenger pigeons that once gathered there. The town was renamed in 1840 after the historically prominent Blue Bell Inn.
Blue Bell is known for its large executive-style homes, major business parks, small community shopping facilities, and small businesses. In July 2005, Money magazine ranked Blue Bell 14th on its list of the "100 Best Places to Live in the United States"
While the CDP of Blue Bell proper consists of an area roughly centered upon the namesake Inn , in recent years the name "Blue Bell" has become informally synonymous with the larger surrounding area within the 19422 area code, including the communities of Center Square and Belfry.
Blue Bell is home to the global headquarters of Unisys, a provider of information technology services and products. Aetna, an insurance provider, also maintains a headquarters office in Blue Bell, though its primary U.S. headquarters is in Hartford, Connecticut. It also is home to the Montgomery County Community College, Wings Field Airport, and Meadowlands Country Club.
