Historical Belgium, WI

Belgium’s Luxembourg heritage is demonstrated by the bright green hearts above the village’s welcome signs. The first immigrants of the town came from Luxembourg, neighboring settlers referred to this as “the Belgium area” since at that time, Luxembourg was ruled by Belgium. The current residents still celebrate their heritage throughout the year.

An entire company town existed along the shore of Lake Michigan. Several of the company houses were moved west to the Village of Belgium and can be seen there today. The remains of the pier where ships loaded can still be seen from the park. At the turn of the century, limestone was quarried on the site presently occupied by Harrington Beach State Park. There is a serene lake where the quarry was in the early 1900’s. Hikers can follow a nature trail around it.
