Why this spot
1873-1892 silver mill town, brief 1915 revival
Rough mill town that processed ore from the Northern Belle Mine at Candelaria and had 500 people, two hotels and seven saloons when the Carson and Colorado Railroad arrived in 1882. Once water was piped to Candelaria in 1892 the milling moved there and Belleville emptied, apart from a revival in 1915 to 1918.View source →
