Administrative history

The Town of Belleville, Ontario was incorporated effective January 1, 1850 under the terms of the Baldwin Act, Chapter 81, Canada Statutes, 1849. The town became a City on 31 December 1877 after "An Act for the Incorporation of the Town of Belleville as a City, and for the Consolidation of the debt thereof" was passed in March 1877 by the Government of Ontario. In 1998 it amalgamated with the surrounding Township of Thurlow.

Archival history

Some of these records were transferred to the Archives of Ontario in 1987-1988 through a Resolution by the Belleville Council.

They were returned to the Community Archives of Belleville and Hastings County from the Archives of Ontario in spring 2016.
