History:

                The Belmont area grew from a government division made in 1879 that was subsequently cut up by the surrounding areas ofCoorparoo and Kianawah. The remaining land quickly came to be called Belmont Shire, and was home to the settlement ofCarina, which grew quickly. By the early 1900s the town included shire offices, a selection of churches and a primary school. A tramline was developed in order to bolster the area, but was shut down before this dream could be realized.

In 1925, the Brisbane Council incorporated the shire, which was quickly developed into a Brisbane agricultural area, with several dairy farmers, wool scourers and a tannery. The area continued a slow growth curve until the mid-1960s, when the popularity of the personal car and a number of other transport options made the area more easily accessible to a number of Brisbane locals. Belmont has subsequently seen ever-increasing amounts of residential growth, as well as the development of supporting services, quickly making it a very well sought after suburb of the Brisbane area.
