Abstract:

Cotton, mills, and railroads led to Belmont, North Carolina's boom from the 1880s to the 1950s. But as with many North Carolina textile towns, this boom faded with time. However, Belmont has not faded and updated streetscapes, speciality stores, and good restaurants have encouraged visitors to stay.
