Bellevue is a small community located in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. It was founded in 1864 as Tickle Harbour, but the name was changed to Bellevue on December 11, 1896. It has a population of about 200 people, 415 including the communities of Thornlea and Bellevue Beach. It has two stores, one of which is a gas bar. The gas bar (Connie's) has cabins for rent on the side, and is close to a community playground. The wharf once hosted many fishing boats but the local fishermen, for the most part, now dock at the larger wharf in nearby Long Cove. This is convenient because there is a fish plant there. Bellevue is about 110 kilometres (sixty-eight miles) away from St. John's.
