Our Town: Bellevue | Kentucky Life | KET

Located on the banks of the Ohio River, Bellevue was founded in 1870, on land originally granted to General James Taylor, who fought in the War of 1812. From Bellevue's earliest days, Fairfield Avenue has been the center of the town's commerce, and today the avenue is one of Bellevue's two historic districts. The Taylor’s Daughters Historic District extends south of Fairfield Avenue to the railroad tracks and Center Street. We tour downtown and explores the city's rich and unusual history. Bellevue Beach Park boasts a beautiful view of Cincinnati on the opposite bank. Back in the early 1900s, Queen City Beach, as it was then known, was the most popular place to spend a summer's day. The current park offers green space, a playground, and summer concerts. Last but not least, we look at the town's reputation as a center for homing pigeon enthusiasts in the early 20th century. The pigeons were raised for races, and according to the Encyclopedia of Northern Kentucky, the Bellevue aviary held government contracts for the training of pigeons for use in national emergencies.
