About Belle Mead

Belle Mead is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Montgomery Township, in Somerset County. Before about 1875, the place was known as Plainville and considered part of Harlingen, a reminder of how older rural settlement names still sit under modern suburban maps. Belle Mead is mostly residential and landlocked, with a quieter township feel than nearby commercial centers. Its identity is local and understated: schools, farms turned neighborhoods, wooded roads, and access to Princeton-area jobs.
