THE TOWN OF BELMONT.
The town of Belmont was incorporated March 18, 1859. It received its name from its beautiful situation. It originally formed parts of Waltham, Watertown and Arlington, all three of which towns united in bitterly opposing the scheme for the incorpora- tion of the town, which was before the legislature for some six years. When incorporated the town had a population of 1175, and an area of 5.75 square miles or 3648 acres. April 19, 1880, a por- tion of the town known as the Strawberry Hill District, amount- ing in area to 570 acres, was annexed to Cambridge. This took away also nearly 600 people, reducing the population of the town to about 1600 inhabitants, about its present number.
