About BellevilleFounded in 1814, Belleville was named by its early French settlers. The discovery of coal in 1828 attracted many German miners. The town retains much of the Teutonic influence in language, song, festivals and architecture. Manufacturers produce a variety of goods and Scott Air Force Base is nearby.
The Emma Kunz House , 602 Fulton St., is an 1830 German street house furnished in period. The house is open for tours by appointment; phone (618) 234-0600.
