However, "jingle bells" is commonly taken to mean a certain kind of bell. The rhythm of the tune mimics that of a trotting horse's bells. Music historian James Fuld notes that "the word jingle in the title and opening phrase is apparently an imperative verb." In the winter in New England in pre-automobile days, it was common to adorn horses' harnesses with straps bearing bells as a way to avoid collisions at blind intersections, since a horse-drawn sleigh in snow makes almost no noise. The song has since passed into public domain. It was reprinted in 1859 with the revised title of "Jingle Bells, or the One Horse Open Sleigh". "Jingle Bells" was originally copyrighted with the name "One Horse Open Sleigh" on September 16, 1857. According to the Medford Historical Society, the song was inspired by the town's popular sleigh races during the 1800s.
Pierpont wrote the song there, at the former Simpson Tavern, now 19 High Street in the center of Medford Square. A plaque commemorating the "birthplace" of "Jingle Bells" adorns the side of a building in Medford, Massachusetts.
