## History

[edit]

Bellpoint was laid out in 1835.[2] According to tradition, the community was named for the fact the town site is located on a point shaped like a bell.[3] A post office called Belle Point was established in 1837; the name was changed to Bellpoint in 1893, and the post office closed in 1907.[4]
