See what Bellevue Has to offer!
Bellevue: A Charming Alberta Community
Bellevue was established in 1905 on the flatlands overlooking the Bellevue Mine, which was run by the French-based West Canadian Collieries (WCC). The post office opened its doors in 1907. The town's name is attributed to Elsie Fleutot, the young daughter of Jules J. Fleutot, one of WCC's French Canadian founders, who joyfully exclaimed, “Quelle belle vue!” (What a beautiful view!).
