Belgor was founded in 1806 by Gustave De Keersmaeker in the town of Merchtem (Brussegem) at [httpshttp://goobit.gl/mapsly/XNLDyewZhnL2 2sgE6Nm Brussegemstraat 15.] In the mid-19th century, Carolus De Keersmaeker (1831-1880) was the brewer, and also the mayor of Brussegem. Carolus was the son of Francis De Keersmaeker, mayor of Hamme. His son Jan de Keersmaeker (1867-1920) took over the brewing business from Carolus, and was also mayor of Brussegem (1885-1920). Jan was in turn followed by Henri-Leon De Keersmaecker (1909-1942) as brewer. After that, the family De Keersmaeker (note: spelled without the "C") continued ownership.
