 In the late sixties, due in part to the proximity of the newly constructed Schuylkill Expressway, in addition to the need for a township rescue unit, the Belmont Hills Fire Company was designated as a heavy rescue squad.Belmont Hills has no commercial district.The closest thing to a main street is Marywaters Ford Rd./Ashland Ave., entering the town limits from the west, running by the pool, library, and McMorran Park and ending as the road merges into Jefferson Street just 0.6 miles from end to end.
