Bellevue is a borough in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, along the Ohio River, adjoining Pittsburgh. The population was 8,370 at the 2010 census.[2] The borough was incorporated in 1867. There is a public park and library, the Andrew Bayne Memorial Library.

Education

Bellevue is served by the Northgate School District.

History

The land on which the borough currently sits was once part of the Depreciation Lands reserved for Revolutionary War veterans.[3] The first landowners in the area were James Robinson and Hugh Henry Brackenridge, purchasing parcels in 1799 and 1792 respectively.[3] At the time of its organization as a borough, Bellevue had exactly the minimum population for such a designation: 300 residents.[4]

Residents of the area tried unsuccessfully to obtain improvements from Ross Township, but officials were opposed to development along Venango Trail (today Route 19).[3] In response, Bellevue was incorporated as a borough independent of Ross on September 7, 1867.[5] The name of the borough was chosen by J. J. East, a linguist and early resident of the borough, and means "beautiful view."[3]

"Dry" status

After the end of Prohibition, Bellevue opted to remain a "dry" town, meaning that the sale of alcohol in stores or restaurants is legally restricted by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB).[6] A referendum to overturn this status by allowing limited alcohol sales at certain establishments was included in the borough-wide primary elections, with voting held May 17, 2011. The referendum was defeated 849–761.[7] Under state law, this barred future referendums on the same subject until May 2015.[7]

On May 19, 2015, a similar referendum passed 897 to 526 and the town's dry status was overturned.[8][9]

Historic Buildings

Bellevue contains over 1,000 buildings over 100 years old. In 2016, to recognize 150 years since the borough's founding, Bellevue's Community Development Corporation (CDC), Bona Fide Bellevue, launched a historic building plaque program, consisting of inventorying all the buildings in Bellevue. Of over 2,600 buildings, just over 730 had been approved locally "historic." Over 150 property owners voluntarily elected to purchase a plaque signifying the historic nature of their buildings.

Three buildings have been further recognized as historic:

Andrew Bayne House - 34 North Balph Avenue - built 1875. Andrew Bayne Public Library. Recognized by Pittsburgh History Landmarks Foundation (PHLF).

Andrew S. Miller House - 366 Lincoln Avenue- built 1902. Revival on Lincoln Restaurant.

Marius Rousseau House - 100 Watkins Avenue - built 1906. Private residence. Recognized by PHLF.
