Bellaire is a village in Belmont County, Ohio, United States. It is part of the Wheeling, West Virginia Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 4,278 at the 2010 census. The village is located along the Ohio River. The Bellaire toll bridge was filmed in the 1991 motion picture The... Silence of the Lambs; its curved railroad viaduct and bridge over the Ohio were featured in the 2010 film Unstoppable. Mound builders occupied the area though it is believed that no permanent settlement was ever within the present-day city limits. The Mingoes, Shawnees and Delawares were know to have frequented the area. The first documented European visitors to the Ohio River Valley and the Bellaire were French trappers and priests in the early and mid 1700s. They were impressed with the river's heavily wooded and hilly shores, and with the abundance of fish and wildlife. George Washington had notably explored the Ohio River Valley and, after the Revolutionary War, had passed out land parcels to his soldiers. The ownership of the land changed hands sporadically until both John Rodefer and Jacob Davis purchased a shared majority.
