Midway between San Francisco and San JosĆ©, Belmont is where an Italian count reconstructed his villa transported from Italy, where a silver king created āthe White House of the West,ā and where the Warlocks, a fledgling 1960s rock band, honed the sound they would make famous under another name, the Grateful Dead. Spanish explorers called Belmontās vales āla CaƱada del Diablo,ā or āthe Devilās Canyon,ā either after the locally famous winds or because the native Ohlone believed the canyon to be inhabited by spirits. Belmontās historic advantage of being on the bay side of the shortest route to the Pacific coast meant easier access to another type of spirits during Prohibition, fueling a minor red-light district across the tracks on Old County Road. A century or more ago, Belmontās wooded hills attracted sanitariums and prep schools. Today, its woods and trails draw residents from more developed neighboring towns.
