Cemeteries in Bellemont (Unincorporated area)

Bellemont, located in Coconino County, Arizona, began as a railroad siding and water stop along the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad in the late 19th century.

Situated just west of Flagstaff along historic Route 66, the community developed around timber, ranching, and rail industry activities that supported regional growth. Early settlers included European American homesteaders and workers connected to the railroad and lumber mills. Bellemont later became known for its high elevation—among the highest settlements on Route 66—and for serving military operations during World War II through the nearby Navajo Army Depot. Though unincorporated, Bellemont remains a small residential and commercial community.

Nearby cemeteries in Flagstaff and surrounding areas hold the remains of early railroad workers, pioneers, and veterans associated with Bellemont’s development.
