History

Belleville was originally known as The Ponds due to a large number of ponds in the area. It was then named Belleville in honor of John Bell, who initiated a project to drain the ponds.[2] The first settlers in Conecuh County settled in Belleville.[3] Belleville was formerly home to multiple churches, five grist mills, three general stores, a barbershop, a lumber mill, and a hotel.[4]

A post office operated under the name Belleville from 1828 to 1957.[5]
