About Bellefontaine, OH

The name Bellefontaine means "beautiful spring" in French, and is purported to refer to several springs in the area. . However, locally, the original French pronunciation is not used, and it is pronounced "bell fountain." Around 1777, the Shawnee war chief Blue Jacket ( Weyapiersenwah) built a settlement here, known as "Blue Jacket's Town". Blue Jacket and his band had previously occupied a village along the Scioto River, but the American Revolutionary War had reached the Ohio Country. Blue Jacket and other American Indians who took up arms against the American revolutionaries relocated in order to be closer to their British allies at Detroit.
