Belle Center, Ohio

Belle Center is a village in Logan County, Ohio, United States.

[5] Historically, some areas in what is now northern Richland Township were covered by swampland.

Five years later, the village of Belle Center was officially incorporated by the Ohio General Assembly.

This railroad origin is responsible for Belle Center's "diagonal" street layout.

Belle Center was named for its relatively central location between the cities of Bellefontaine and Kenton.

The Board on Geographic Names officially decided in favor of the current spelling in 1891.

23.3% of all households were made up of individuals, and 11.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

[11] In the elections of November 2007, Teresa Johnston defeated two other candidates for the mayoral position, and Rhonda Fulmer and John Lowery were elected from a five-candidate pool for two at-large village council seats.

Since the end of passenger rail service, transportation in Belle Center has relied on local roads and state highways.
