| The Town of Belmont is a pleasant, residential suburb which has
unexpectedly achieved international notoriety as the childhood home of the
bride of the Crown Prince of Japan. Residents report polite but persistent
Japanese tourists knocking on likely doors hoping to discover the
Princess's former house, and international tour guides persist in planning
tours of the affluent community.
Before the Prince found his Cinderella, Belmont was 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. Although there were extensive market gardens in
Belmont, the town underwent rapid subdivision development when trolley
routes connected it directly to Boston. 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.
A small town of about 4.6 square miles, Belmont residents are proud of
their quiet, well-mannered community and appear unexcited by its present
fame. |
