Belmont was initially occupied by Aboriginal Australians called the Awabakal tribe.

In 1873, Thomas Williamson the first school in the suburb, a single-roomed establishment adjacent to Maudeville Cottage. He made one after realising enough children were in the area to build a school. In 1874, he created the land’s first church. Three years later, he opened the Belmont Post Office and served as its Postmaster until his death.
