In 1882 Thomas B. Quaw, an entrepreneur, located land along the newly surveyed Northern Pacific Railway about ten miles from Bozeman. He found this property greatly to his liking, and thus, the community had its beginning. At that time, many European financiers invested money to complete the Northern Pacific Line. As a complimentary notice of appreciation to the Serbian investors this blind siding, was named Belgrade, after the capitol of Serbia. From the turn of the century through the 1930's, Belgrade continued to expand, gaining businesses, professionals and the trappings of an established community. However, speculation in the community slowed, the depression took its toll, and Belgrade settled into the quiet farming community it was to remain for some time.

After World War II, Belgrade began to enjoy prosperity. Existing businesses expanded and relocated to larger facilities and new businesses were begun. Belgrade continued to enjoy its excellent school system and active community members. Then as now, most businesses were run by local families with a strong commitment to community.

The 1980's have seen tremendous expansion for Belgrade. Local business people and community members are working together to attract new business to Belgrade. At the same time, the community has established itself as an independent community with excellent and the unbeatable living experience of a small town. From its colorful past, Belgrade looks toward a bright future in the 2000's.
