In the 1950s, Bellevue was a small community which existed primarily to serve the needs of nearby farms. It was mostly along the railroad tracks near the Harpeth River, and had only a few buildings such as a hardware store, post office, and a Masonic lodge hall. I-40 was built through Bellevue in the early 1960s and suburbanization of the community was made official when the United States Postal Service changed the office's designation from "Bellview, Tennessee" to a branch of the Nashville office in the late 1970s. On May 2, 2010, the Bellevue area was hard-hit by a devastating flood, but in the following decade it rebounded and experienced transformative residential and commercial development. On February 3, 2014, Bellevue experienced its first plane crash. Four lives were lost in this accident after the plane experienced heavy airspeeds and total engine failure. This plane crash almost destroyed the Bellevue YMCA, with the plane coming down nearly 30 yards from its west side. Instead, pilot Glenn Mull was able to save many lives.
