SO great is its scattered population
that even in ST. Paul alone there are
more former Belle Plainites than are
people now living In the old valley

an ever-increasing Belle PLANE colony,
and the rest of the state, the west and
Canada have all drawn heavily from
its number. Within 40-miie radius or
the Twin Cities, 1t has like many other
nearby towns, served as a feeder to
those centers, and will probably al
ways continue in that role. Yet it's
population has never gone back, and
its 1900 today is the most it has ever
had.
Situated on wide shelf formed by
the river bluffs of the Minnesota, it's
beautiful plain won the name Belle

A. @. Chattield in 1853. Judge Chat

not only named 1t as the site of a fu-
ture town, but determined that it
should be his Minnesota home. Ac-
corGtngly he located on q homestead
here that fall and the next year moved
to Belle PLANE with his family, and
with him came other settlers, and soon
there was a fiourishing community.

and two years later the Belle Plaine
