Belton, MO Overview

Nationally recognized as the hometown of Dale Carnegie and temperance leader Carrie Nation, Belton today is a modern city with good schools, popular shopping spots, grand historic architecture, and streets graced by large shade trees.  Boasting its own school district, Belton High School was the only Missouri school to receive the Governor’s $5 million “Break the Mold” grant for innovative programs and bold new student services.  New housing developments provide newcomers with attraction options for modern construction.  Although Belton claims five shopping areas of its own, residents are just minutes from the vast array of metroplex attractions and venues.  Amenities include playgrounds, tennis courts, sports fields, parks, and swimming pools.  Nearby is the Loch Lloyd Country Club with an 18-hole PGA course as well as tennis courts and swimming pool.  Lake Jacomo and Longview Lake offer boating and fishing opportunities close to home.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
