Bellevue Cemetery was surveyed in 1876 by Brown & James and covers 15 and a half acres. During the Civil War it was known as Green's Battery. The land was purchased in 1876 to establish a private cemetery for people of moderate means.
An Act of the North Carolina General Assembly incorporated the Bellevue Cemetery Company as a capital stock company in January 1877.
Bellevue now contains 30 acres.
