The
City of Bellbrook was settled in 1816 and was named
for one of its founders, Stephen Bell. The City
first attained a population of over 5,000 in 1970
when Bellbrook annexed a large part of western
Sugarcreek Township. This led to official city
status in 1974. The current census numbers residents
at just over 7,000 today. Bellbrook is unique
because it provides a full range of services without
a local income tax, being one of about 5 of Ohio’s
over 250 cities without an income tax. |
