In 1871 Bentleyville had just thirty-six houses, three stores, one schoolhouse, a literary society, a grist and saw mill and one steam tannery.
In the early 1900's the town fathers were discussing and taking action on such things as lighting the town, grading Main St. and giving taxpayers a chance to work out taxes. Also on the agenda were items to have signs posted on telephone poles and trees removed at once, setting the wages for the road work at $1.50 a day and $0.50 for each arrest made by police.

In 1921 Bentleyville Fire Department was formed.
In 1960 Bentleyville won a ballpark in Kraft's $20,000 Ball Park Contest which is still known as Carmel Park.
