Located in Campbell County, Kentucky along the Ohio River's southern bank, Bellevue is a wonderful place to purchase a home. Originally settled by Native Americans due to its abundance of natural resources, the city was eventually named after the plantation of General James Taylor who served as Quartermaster General during the War of 1812.
Its rich history isn't the only thing that makes Bellevue interesting, however. Its name, meaning beautiful view, still holds true to this day and continues to work its way into the hearts of those who call it home. Not only is it located directly across from the Ohio River, but its elevation ensures flooding is not a problem despite its proximity to such an active water source. It is known for its beautiful beaches and is home to Bellevue Beach Park, which now serves as a reminder of the Queen City Beach resort that opened here in 1902.
There is lots of fun to be had here in Bellevue. Fairfield Avenue, the main historic road in the city, is decorated with a grand mural at the 200-block which is always a favorite of tourists and locals alike. Authentic food and local merchants selling unique items line the street and constantly offer something new to explore. Those needing a little more action can spend some time at Bellevue Stadium, which gives residents the chance to watch and participate in some of their favorite sports.
Bellevue takes great pride in preserving its historic districts and maintaining the aesthetics of the original buildings. However, the city is constantly expanding and developing in new directions both architecturally and economically. The city offers impressive incentives for opening or relocating your business here. For those who would rather work in government or in law enforcement, Bellevue has a host of opportunities available in these fields as well.
