Bellefonte is a town in Boone County, Arkansas, United States.

[citation needed] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.5 km2 (0.58 sq mi), all land.

It was suggested the area be called "Bellefonte", French for "beautiful fountains."

As there were no church organizations in the settlement, services were originally held in private homes.

Businesses included doctors' offices, drugstores, a livery stable, various general stores, a leather factory, saloons, a cotton gin and a flour mill.

When Boone County was formed, Bellefonte was the largest town, larger than relatively new Harrison.

In that year it was also damaged by a significant fire due to buildings being close together.

Bellefonte stopped being an incorporated town after this great fire, not re-incorporating until 1963.

There were various fires in 1912, which stifled Bellefonte until 1929 when things began to pick up a bit.

24.2% of all households were made up of individuals, and 6.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
