The
City of Belpre...
Was
the second permanent settlement in the Northwest Territory.
Established along the Ohio River in 1789 by members of the
Ohio Company, the location was surveyed the previous year as
Belle-Prairie, French for beautiful meadow.
Towering trees line streets throughout the city. They help
frame charming older homes that testify to the history of
Belpre. One of these, the Dana House on Walnut Street, was
built in 1859, and is listed on the National Registry of
Historical Sites.
We welcome all visitors to our city!
Mike Lorentz- Mayor
