At the turn of the 20th century, Bela Bhela was described as a large village whose lands were well-cultivated and "amply" irrigated by several tanks and numerous wells.[3] It had a school and hosted markets twice per week.[3] Bela Bhela then formed the main village in the zamindari estate of Sardar Narain Singh, a descendant of the Punjabi nobleman Maharaja Chhattar Singh.[3] It had previously been part of Rana Beni Madho Bakhsh's lands.[3] The 1901 census recorded a population of 4,803 residents in Bela Bhela; almost all of them were Hindus and many of them belonged to the Ahir community.[3]

The 1961 census recorded Bela Bhela (as "Bela Dhela") as comprising 32 hamlets, with a total population of 6,281 people (3,236 male and 3,045 female), in 1,344 households and 1,240 physical houses.[5] The area of the village was given as 5,453 acres and it had a medical practitioner at that point.[5]

The 1981 census recorded Bela Bhela as having a population of 9,003 people, in 1,170 households, and having an area of 2,154.61 hectares.[4] The main staple foods were listed as wheat and rice.[4]
