Belmont Information
Belmont is a city in San Mateo County, California, United States. It is a
small suburb in the San Francisco Bay Area, located half-way down the San
Francisco Peninsula between San Mateo and San Carlos. The population was 25,123
at the 2000 census.
Belmont is mostly made up of residential housing and retail stores. During the
1990s housing demand (and prices) increased dramatically, in large part due to
the growth of the nearby headquarters of Oracle Corporation.
Ralston Hall, built around a villa formerly owned by Count Cipriani, an Italian
aristocrat, by Bank of California founder William Chapman Ralston, on the campus
of Notre Dame de Namur University is a historic landmark. Carlmont High School
is located in Belmont.
