Bellevue, Maryland is a historic working waterfront community, bringing together family legacies and new households in a safe, vibrant community.
Although Bellevue is no longer a center of maritime commerce, the village’s significant African American maritime heritage is still evident and an important historical context that should continue to shape its future. Bellevue hosted two African American owned seafood operations (Bellevue Seafood and W.A. Turner and Sons), a rarity on the Eastern Shore. Family members, employees and their descendants are still active in the community and the Bellevue United Methodist Church continues to be the keeper of much of the community’s African American history and heritage.
The modern day community of Bellevue evolved from its early history as a landing for the OxfordBellevue Ferry in 1683. Since then, Bellevue has hosted water dependent business including: a wharf for the Choptank Steamboat Company; the Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic Railroad Company (from at least 1906 until at least 1921); W. H. Valliant Seafood and Packing (established in 1895); W.A. Turner and Sons (established in1945); .and Bellevue Seafood (established 1964). Today, Bellevue still serves as a landing for the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry, but is now a predominantly residential community with a community park and boat landing operated by Talbot County.
