Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Belleville, KS

Belleville is the county seat and largest city of Republic County in north-central Kansas, just south of the Nebraska state line.

Belleville was founded in 1869 and named for Arabelle Tutton, the wife of a member of the Belleville Townsite Company.

Belleville's first post office opened in February 1870, and the town was incorporated as a city of the second class on January 10, 1878.

The 2020 census counted 2,007 people in Belleville, which is more than 40 percent of Republic County's entire population of 4,674.

Belleville is home to the Belleville High Banks, a half-mile dirt racing oval billed as the world's fastest half-mile dirt track, with 23-degree banking and racing held there since 1910.

The Belleville High Banks is also one of the oldest continuously used dirt tracks in the United States, and future stars including A.J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Kyle Larson all raced there.

From 1978 to 2017 the track hosted the Belleville Midget Nationals, one of the richest and most prestigious midget car races in the nation, before the event was replaced by the 305 Sprint Nationals.

The High Banks Hall of Fame and National Midget Auto Racing Museum, opened in 2004, preserves Belleville's racing history in a museum near U.S. Highway 81.

North of Belleville in Republic County is the Pawnee Indian Museum State Historic Site, built over the excavated floor of a Kitkehahki Pawnee earthlodge in a village that once held as many as 2,000 people; it was the first site designated a Kansas state historic site.

Belleville's Republic County Courthouse, a Works Progress era building constructed in 1938-1939, still anchors the downtown square.
