Driscoll was named for Frederick Driscoll, a newspaper manager. [11]

In June 2015, The Coal Car Diner closed. Three months later in September 2015, the owners of Norm's Grocery, and the cafe announced their retirement. On October 10, an auction was held and all remaining equipment and materials were sold. The grocery store had been a mainstay of the town, being open for 57 years. The towns Post Office was located in a small portion of the grocery store, which was forced to close as well. Donna Meland was postmaster and operated the cafe, while Norm Meland operated the store. Norm is quoted as saying “I hate to see it all go. It’s the end of the town, you might say." A local resident, Carol Christenson, says “It’ll be a learning experience for us, but it’s not going to be pleasant. We’ll say goodbye with tears in our eyes.” The Bismarck Tribune states: "Times changed. People became more mobile, the big supermarkets opened a half-hour away in Bismarck and the town’s population declined. As of July, there are 98 people living in the town, according to N.D. Home Town Locator." Mail has since been changed to rural service. [12]
