BELLEVILLE HISTORY: PEOPLE AND EVENTS
 
BELLEVILLE BAKES

Belleville has not only had its local bakeries, but also firms producing items used in baking. The Thomson Machine Company, a manufacturer of bakery equipment, moved from Kearny to Belleville in 1990.

The National Grain Yeast Corporation, once located on Mill Street, began in 1927. The management of this maker of baker's compressed yeast included two sons of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, James and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr.
