It is located along North Dakota Highway 8 between Stanley and the former town of Van Hook.[1] The village was founded in 1904, and was reportedly named for W. L. Belden, North Dakota's Indian agent at-large who was stationed at Fort Berthold Indian Reservation at the time.[2]

History

Belden was founded in 1904 by Finnish settlers when the area was still part of Ward County.[3][4] The village never exceeded a population of more than 25. The post office was established in 1904 as well, and operated continuously until 1986 with the ZIP code of 58715. The Belden Store was considered a local landmark.[2] Today, Belden has a population of about 20, with a couple of young families growing the number over the past decade.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
