Historic
Belmont
The Belmont property was a subdivided strip of land at the southwestern tip of Chevy Chase, Maryland, along Wisconsin Avenue. In 1906, a group of African American investors acquired the 31-acre parcel and sold lots to other African Americans in an effort to develop a high-end suburb for D.C.'s growing Black middle class. Had the project succeeded, it would have been one of the earliest modern suburbs developed for African Americans.
