The Belmont Land Company was a late 19th development company that purchased the 551-acre Belle Mont Estate and developed it into what is now known as the Belmont-Carlton neighborhood. [1]
The company was formed in 1890 in Charlottesville, encouraged by the establishment of the Charlottesville and University Street Railway in 1887. [2]
The initial president was Jefferson Monroe Levy and two vice-presidents were Bartlett Bolling and Micajah Woods. Company staff surveyed the area and developed a large subdivision which established the grid-system that makes up southeast Charlottesville. [1] [3] [4]
