Belmont MA Community Profile & History
Belmont, Massachusetts is a pleasant, residential suburb, which has unexpectedly achieved international notoriety as the childhood home of the bride of the Crown Prince of Japan. Belmont is a quiet community on the western suburban corridor of Boston, situated on the divide between the watersheds of the Charles and the Mystic Rivers.
The town was largely agricultural until the early 19th century when the turnpike and railroad linked the area to Boston, stimulating the creation of several large suburban estates. A Belmont farmer was the first to import and breed Holstein cows, and historians note that the conservatories on an estate in Belmont sparked the first use of hothouses to grow fruit and vegetables commercially. This was done so successfully that huge Belmont market gardens under glass produced enough fruit to make the town first in the country in the value of its fruit products and second in the country for vegetables during some years in the 19th century.
The town underwent rapid subdivision development when trolley routes connected it directly to Boston. Belmont residents are proud of their quiet, well-mannered community.
