The historic Bellamy Bridge was built in 1851. It was swept away by a flood, built again in 1874, then re-built in 1914. It is the second oldest steel-framed bridge in Florida. It is one of the ten oldest bridges in the state.The Bellamy Bridge remained in use until 1963 when it was declared obsolete and replaced by a concrete bridge by which County Road 162 crosses the Chipola River today.
