Belgique, Missouri

Belgique is an unincorporated community in eastern Perry County, Missouri, United States.

It is located approximately five miles south of Chester, Illinois, in Perry County's Bois Brule Township.

Since a town already existed in Missouri which bore the name of Belgium,[citation needed] the Flemish residents opted to use the French name for their homeland.

A Catholic church, The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, existed in Belgique from 1884 to 1992.

[6] Belgique was located on the flat alluvial plain of the Bois Brule Bottom situated in the northern part of Perry County.
