San Mateo County History Museum Features History of Belmont in New Exhibit
The San Mateo County History Museum, at 2200 Broadway in Redwood City, will open a new exhibit entitled Belmont: The Hub of the Peninsula on October 27, 2026, helping the city celebrate its 100th anniversary.
Its location halfway between San Francisco and San Jose inspired the nickname, “The Hub of the Peninsula.”
In 1856, San Mateo County was formed, and Belmont was briefly named the
county seat before a new election gave Redwood City the title.
Over
the next century, Belmont would go through many changes, including
construction of the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad through the
town, the building of William Ralson’s estate, the growth of the
downtown area which included the Belmont Park picnic grounds and the
creation of the Belmont School for Boys in the western hills.
In
the early 1900s, Belmont became home to several sanitariums. Patients
included those being treated for tuberculosis and psychiatric disorders.
Belmont’s
history as an educational site continued in this era when the Sisters
of Notre Dame established the College of Notre Dame, today’s Notre Dame
de Namur University and Notre Dame High School.
In
addition to telling these stories through historic photographs, the
exhibit will feature large, rarely seen portraits of Mr. and Mrs.
Ralston as well as a candelabra and dishware from their Belmont home,
Ralston Hall.
