Bellville, situated in Richland County, Ohio, is a quaint village that’s part of the Mansfield, Ohio Metropolitan Statistical Area. This village has a rich history, dating back to its first settlers, James McCluer and Jonathan Oldfield, in 1808. Though McCluer initially owned the land, the village was shaped and named after Robert Bell, who bought the land in 1815. Bellville’s Main Street, Ogle Street, and Durbin Road witnessed the rise of commerce in the 1870s, including two hotels and an electric plant. Interestingly, the village saw a gold rush when gold was discovered at Dead Man’s Run by James C. Lee. Geographically, Bellville lies along the Clear Fork of the Mohican River, with a total area of 2.75 square miles.
