Bellvale is a populated place in San Mateo County, California, United States, located at 37°18′43″N 122°19′12″W / 37.31194°N 122.32000°W. The small community is on Highway 84 (La Honda Road) between San Gregorio and La Honda, at 240 feet above sea level.[1]
Bellvale was named for the Bell family, who settled in the area during the mid-nineteenth century. James Bell paid for construction of a schoolhouse in 1869, which served children from nearby La Honda.[2] Although Bellvale once had a post office, the community is now only sparsely settled with homes and farms.[3] The Bellvale post office, located 2.25 miles west of La Honda, opened in 1897 and was discontinued in 1922.[4] U.S. Geological Survey maps show oil wells in the area, tapping a relatively small pool of petroleum that was first identified in the nineteenth century.[5]
