Bill is an unincorporated community in Converse County, Wyoming, United States. It is included within the southern-central portion of Thunder Basin National Grassland. The settlement is rumored to have begun shortly after World War I, when a doctor moved there. It was called "Bill" by the doctor's wife due to a number of men in the area with that name. Before long, Bill had a post office and small store selling sandwiches to truckers and a country school for children from surrounding ranches. The owner of the store even established the "Bill Yacht Club" which had no boats, no water, and no costly boating accidents but sold hats and T-shirts to tourists who felt they were in on the joke.
