Bellevue is Nebraska’s oldest continuous settlement, but its story isn’t confined to the history books.

It’s a community shaped by the MIssouri River, generations of military families, historic neighborhoods, and people who take pride in calling it home. From tree-lined streets to familiar local landmarks, Bellevue balances a rich past with a community that continues to grow.
