Beldenville's Story
How It Began
Beldenville has been around for a long time! A post office first opened here way back in 1858. This was an important step, as it helped the community grow and connect with other places.
The community got its name from a man named A. Belden. He owned a mill in the area, which was likely a very important business for the early settlers. Mills were often used to grind grain into flour, a vital food source.
