Belmont is an unincorporated community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Colchester County.[1] Prior to 1872 it was called "Chiganois", the name taken from the nearby river. It was part of the Onslow Township that received New England Planters in the 1760s after the expulsion of the Acadians.
