Belleview Cleanup and Restoration

Fire, Flooding or Water damage in Belleview, FL is no problem when SERVPRO is called to respond. Belleview, FL was called "The City of Oaks" in "The Story of Belleview" written by former Belleview Chamber of Commerce President Vincent Razzano in the late 1950s. The area was considered "a health haven in the midst of natural and attractive scenery, rolling terrain, fertile soil and mild equable climate. Its attractiveness to northerners in feeble health seeking a place for winter residence was soon recognized. The Lakeview Hotel, then known as the Hotel Sanitatia, was owned and operated by Dr. H. Knight. Its desirability attracted men of prominent standing in all walks of life." In the history of Belleview, FL it is recorded that a gentleman by the name of J.F. Pelot Sr. from South Carolina is the first land owner in 1854 in and around Lake Lillian which was called Nine Mile Pond at that time. The pond was named that because it is nine miles south from Fort King located in Ocala, FL. According to Belleview history expert Gene Scroggie, the name Lillian was thought to belong to the wife of one of the men who formed the Marion Land and Improvement Company.  One story passed down about the name of the town, Belleview, was Pelot named it after his daughter Belle. But according to a history of the town written in 1950, the name was derived by the founders in 1884 from a combination of French word "belle" and "view", to promote mean beautiful vistas to be seen around the fledgling town. Belleview is only 49 from Gainesville, FL and the University of Florida and only 65 miles to Walt Disney World. It is a nice small town to visit or put down roots.
