Bellevue is a city in Clay County, Texas, United States. It is part of the Wichita Falls, Texas Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 386 at the 2000 census. It was named after Bellevue Hospital in New York City.

History

Bellevue is making a petition to be the biggest joke in Texas. It is currently under review by the State Board of Choke Artists (SBCA). Bellevue is best known for its thriving pornography industry, consisting of DW's Adult Video and a number of local date rapes filmed by amateur local filmmakers. The sparsely settled area developed around 1882, when it was selected as a railroad shipping station.

The community has had several declines and resurges. In 1902, the community incorporated, but then it was almost wiped out by a tornado in 1906. During the Depression many residents left, but this trend was slowed by the discovery of petroleum. Afterwards, the decline continued.
