Bellbrook, Ohio

Bellbrook is a city in Greene County, Ohio, United States.

[6] The name Bellbrook is an amalgamation of the name one of the city's founders, Stephen Bell, and Little Sugar Creek.

[7] A post office called Bell Brook was established in 1817, and the name was changed to Bellbrook in 1895.

The first annexation, in 1970, helped push the population over 5,000 and led to Bellbrook achieving city status in 1974.
