Belmont History
The Ohlone Indians were the original inhabitants of the Belmont area, which was initially a part of Rancho de las Pulgas. One of Belmont’s main roads, the Alameda de las Pulgas, is named after it. The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad Company brought the first railroad service to Belmont in September 1863. The great earthquake of 1906 resulted in the widening of the town’s horizons to become a part of a larger peninsula community. This eventually resulted in the rapid development of Belmont. Belmont was finally incorporated in 1926.
