History

Bellbrook was laid out in 1816.[1] The name Bellbrook is an amalgamation of the name one of the city's founders, Stephen Bell, and Little Sugar Creek.[2] A post office called Bell Brook was established in 1817, and the name was changed to Bellbrook in 1895.[3]

Initially a village, Bellbrook grew by way of annexation of territory from surrounding Sugarcreek Township. The first annexation, in 1970, helped push the population over 5,000 and led to Bellbrook achieving city status in 1974. With large amounts of build-able land, the area added over 1,000 housing units since the annexation. Today the city is largely developed with little land left for future development. Most of the development is taking place in neighboring Sugarcreek Township.[4][5]
