About this city
Belleville is a scenic, picturesque lakeside community nestled snugly along the northern shores of Huron River and Belleville Lake in western Wayne County, just miles southwest of the Detroit metropolis. Originally laid out in the 1840s as a quiet agricultural village, the town's geography was dynamically transformed in the 1920s by the construction of a massive hydroelectric dam that created the sweeping freshwater lake. Today, Belleville serves as a serene commuter and tourist escape, providing immediate launchpads to spectacular water sports and historic military aviation arrays.
