Belton Journal
What's Inside this Collection.
Belton, Texas, was plotted in 1850 under the name of Nolandville, which changed in 1851 to Belton, after then-Texas governor, Peter Hansborough Bell, who also gave his name to Bell County, of which Belton is the county seat. The Belton Journal has been published weekly since 1866 and represents a population of over 18,000 people. Digital access of the Belton Journal was generously supported by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission under a TexTreasures grant.
