Well I have lived in the area all my life and in Belleville for 7 years ... where is Federal Signal's (Subsidiery perhaps ?) plant located I am flumexed.... 20.137.52.231 ( talk) 05:22, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
What are those little islands in Lake Ontario south or southwest of Belleville? Do they have a name?-- Sonjaaa 14:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Those aren't islands SW of Belleville, technically it is a peninsula with a canal at the western end of the Bay of Quinte. The area is called "The County" by the locals; its official name is Prince Edward County. One of the most scenic and pastorial areas in North America.
They do have names. One is really horrible which is why no one ever mentions it. One is Cow Island, there is also a Snake Island (sadly actual names). The poster was not referring to The County but the actual islands in the Bay of Quinte that are tiny and you can only access by a non-motorized boat or for one or two if the tide is super low. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.118.16 ( talk) 03:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Question 2603:6011:AE00:46EF:48A0:7104:192E:527D ( talk) 03:45, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
“ With its strategic location at the meeting of the Bay of Quinte and the Moira River, Belleville has long been an attractive and economically active destination, attracting people looking for a better life. The site of the present-day city was first occupied by various Indigenous peoples, drawn by its sheltered waters, easy access to Lake Ontario and abundance of fishing, such as Anishinaabe (Mississaugas) people who had a village here known as Asukhknosk. Loyalist Settlement The first large arrival of settlers came in 1789, when some fifty United Empire Loyalists arrived. The most notable was Captain John Walden Meyers whobuilt a dam on the Moira River, erected a sawmill, gristmill and distillery and operated a trading post and brick kiln. The gristmill drew settlers from Napanee to Port Hope and the community soon became known as Meyers' Creek. He is credited with building the first brick house in Upper Canada in 1794.”

The “history” currently described in the article is entirely fictional and may be vandalism. Belleville was never called Malcolm’s Creek, and there was never a settler named Jordan Octavia Malcolm. There are no references even given for these claims. Please allow to be updated Illegal chipmunk ( talk) 12:08, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
