A short history of Belle

A post office called Belle has been in operation since 1895.Belle, Missouri was named after Belle Wallace, an early local resident. Local history records note that when the railroad arrived and local merchants met to name the town, they chose to name it after her because she was the only unmarried girl living in the area at that time.The Namesake: Belle Wallace was born near Dixon, Missouri in 1886 and moved to the local prairie area with her family.The Decision: Town founders and merchants chose her name during a community meeting around the time the railroad depot was established. Belle was a depot on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, commonly known as the Rock Island.
