About Belleville, WI

At least some of the land the village now occupies was owned between 1838 and 1841 by Daniel Webster, the American statesman, who also speculated in land on the frontier. In 1845, John Frederick acquired property around the Sugar River and commenced construction of a dam and sawmill, and later a grist mill. By 1850, along with John Mitchell, Frederick platted the village and named it Belleville after his hometown of Belleville, Ontario. The Post Messenger Recorder is the area's weekly newspaper. Belleville hosted the Belleville American Music Festival (BamFest), a two-day blues festival held the second weekend in July with local, regional, national, and international acts.
