'''Bellerose''' {{IPAc-en|b|ɛ|l|r|oʊ|z}} is a [[Village (New York)|village]] in the [[Hempstead, New York|Town of Hempstead]] in [[Nassau County, New York|Nassau County]], on [[Long Island]], in [[New York (state)|New York]], United States. The population was 1,173 at the 2020 census.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bellerose village, New York|url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US3605639|website=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=February 23, 2021}}</ref>

== History ==
The village was founded by Helen Marsh of [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn]]. In 1907, planning to build a model community, Marsh purchased {{convert|77|acre|m2}} of [[Floral Park, New York|Floral Park]] [[gladiolus|gladiola]] fields. The first Bellerose home was completed, under Marsh's supervision, in 1910. Marsh persuaded the [[Long Island Rail Road]] to place a station in the new village, and she named the station [[Bellerose station|Bellerose]]. Though it has been suggested that she named the station for the Rose farm, south of the railroad, and her daughter Belle, she said that she simply found the name "euphonious". A vote of the homeowners made the name official in 1917.<ref name=":81">{{Cite book |last=Winsche |first=Richard |title=The History of Nassau County Community Place-Names |date=October 1, 1999 |publisher=Empire State Books |isbn=978-1557871541 |location=[[Interlaken, New York]] |pages=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=August 7, 2017 |title=History |url=https://bellerosebusiness.com/history/ |access-date=May 5, 2022 |website=The Joint Bellerose Business District |language=en}}</ref>
