and became a city in 1878. Known as the "friendly city", Belleville
offers big city amenities along with small town friendliness, and a
pleasing mixture of the historic and modern.
Belleville
is home to an excellent yacht harbour, which is a picturesque
stopping point for Great Lakes sailors and a favourite launch for
sportsfishing enthusiasts after Walleye, Pike and Bass. In the
winter, Belleville becomes a major
ice fishing
centre.
Each July

Waterfront &
Ethnic Festival, while beautiful music chimes year round from
the City Hall clock tower, overlooking the new civic square and
Farmers Market. Residents and visitors alike enjoy walking, biking
