Brisbane, Queensland
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Belmont is an outer suburb of Brisbane, Australia. It is 12 km south-west of the CBD. Belmont is named after the original estate in 1876, the estate grew and became the Belmont Shire in 1901[1]. The shire originally covered a larger area than the current suburb. Andrew Petrie had reported on the fine timber in the area, and in the 1850s the hoop pines attracted timber getters and sawyers to the area. In the 1860s and 1870s, when much of the timber had been cleared, cane was grown along the creek areas and in the rich soil from the old forest. Originally, the Walrus, a floating sugar mill, was used to crush cane, but later mills were built along the creek. With the decline of sugar growing in southern Queensland, the farmers around Belmont grew bananas, pineapples, and other small crops, including grapes, tomatoes, and potatoes. The Meadowlands area was dotted with dairies and small farms growing fodder. Wool scours and a fellmongery were built along Bulimba Creek and Baynes Brothers bought holding paddocks for their cattle and sheep for the abattoir. In 1876, August Charles Frederick Bernecker named his new estate outside Brisbane 'Belmont' and the name spread to the area. In 1894, the Belmont Division was split from the Bulimba Division and the suburb later adopted this name. In 1894 the Belmont Divisional Board was created and in 1901 this became the Belmont Shire. Belmont originally had a much larger area, but parts of it have formed Carindale and other suburbs. In 1912 the Belmont Flyer train opened, connecting Belmont to Carina, Seven Hills and the Norman Park station, but it closed for good in 1926. By 1929, the only transport was a motorbus to Camp Hill tram terminus. Even when the tramline was extended, the Belmont terminus was in Carina. Meanwhile, the population of Belmont had declined to less than it had been twenty years earlier. In 1915, Frederik Kohler started a timber mill, and the wool scours continued, but generally the area continued as agricultural. In 1944, Council ordinances declared there should be a green belt around the ten-mile [16.1-kilometre] line from the city, but this gradually disappeared over the years. The major population development at Belmont has been since the Second World War. In 1964 areas of Belmont still had no water reticulation, but development increased rapidly after this time. Large sections of the new development, however, were renamed to form the suburb of Carindale.
