It was not until late in the eighteenth century, that the town took its name. It stemmed from Belleville-sur-Sablon, Belleville is without doubt the deformation of Bellevue. Until its annexation in Paris in 1860, the city had two faces: the bottom, the district thundering of the Haute-Courtille with its soft drink and dances, at the top, the plateau with its rustic peaceful gardeners, vintners and Parisians holidaymakers. Somewhat sparsely populated before the Revolution, its population progressed rapidly to reach 65000 inhabitants in 1857. The former village became the thirteenth largest city in France.
