Bell Town, Tennessee

Bell Town (also known as Belltown) is an unincorporated rural community located in southern Cheatham County, Tennessee, United States.

A primary school was located here until it was closed by racial integration in the 1960s; the renovated building later served as an office for a religious ministry and as a restaurant before being demolished in the late 2010s.

Apparently, Bell Town has never had a United States Post Office; the community's address is Kingston Springs, Tennessee.

As neither Kingston Springs nor the nearby community of White Bluff have traditionally had an appreciable black population, Bell Town has served the purpose of providing these two towns with a black-oriented residential area, a purpose the community still functions in to some degree.
