Belton, Texas Visitor Information
Hit The Trail

Not only is Belton right in the heart of Central Texas, it's also smack-dab in the middle of natural wonders, shopping, entertainment and history. Tour the historic downtown district that originally roared to life in 1850 when the Chisholm Trail ran right through town. Drop your line in the deep blue waters of Belton Lake, or pitch your tent at any of the natural parks in the area. Shop, dine, take in a rodeo, play a round of golf--you can do it all in Belton. So mosey on in.

At the close of the Civil War, the American South sought to rebuild its identity and its economy; and perhaps no undertaking was more vital to both than the Chisholm Trail. Belton provided a vital stop on the bold, courageous push from South Texas to Abilene, Kansas. Named for Jesse Chisholm, who had established a trade route north from Texas, the Chisholm Trail saw as many as 1,000 head of cattle at a stretch thundering toward market in Kansas.
