History
Because it is not tracked by the U.S. Census, a Census population estimate is not available. First settled in 1886, there are only about seven houses (most of which sit empty) in Belmont, which is assigned the ZIP code 99104. A 1910 plat map of the community shows 11 full city blocks and seven partial city blocks.
In 2009 the community was the site of a controversy surrounding a proposal to store chlorine gas in rail cars on the siding in Belmont. The grain elevators in Belmont were taken down around 2014.
