About Belton

Belton is a Cass County city in the Kansas City metropolitan area, platted in 1871. It has grown from a small rail-era town into a substantial south-metro suburb, with most of the city served by Belton School District 124. Metropolitan Community College has a local presence, and the city has a practical employment and retail base for surrounding communities. Belton feels like an older edge suburb: part small-town Missouri, part Kansas City commuter landscape, with growth pushing steadily south.
