Historical Strathcona
The R.M. of Strathcona includes Range 15 and 16, part of Townships 3 and 4 north of Pelican Lake and the Pembina River, and all of Townships 5 and 6, and comprised of two wards..
Belmont, at its inception, was originally part of the R.M. of Argyle, which included the area now known as Strathcona. About 1905 a modern hotel was in the process of being built in Belmont, when the Municipality of Argyle enforced a prohibition by-law, thereby denying a liquor licence to be granted. The people of this area petitioned to form their own municipality. On March 16, 1906 the Provincial Government of Manitoba divided Argyle, forming the new municipality of Strathcona with its headquarters in Belmont.
