On January 1, 1998, Belmont and Methuen Township amalgamated with the Village of Havelock to form what is now Havelock-Belmont-Methuen.

The region's colonial history began with an influx of settlers after Belmont and Methuen Township was surveyed in 1823.

Early settlers built their homes in an area of dense forests and numerous lakes and rivers within the rocky Canadian Shield.

The railway is now run by Canadian Pacific as Kawartha Lakes Railway and its activity today consists of transporting nepheline syenite and crushed basalt rock from two mines north of Havelock operated by Unimin.

[3] In September, 2005 the Havelock High School Reunion Committee placed in front of the apartments a commemorative plaque bolted to a large red granite stone from a local quarry.

The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) station on Ottawa Street (Hwy #7) in Havelock was built in 1929.

[3] It was designated in 1991 as a Heritage Railway Station by the Historic Sights and Monuments Board, Parks Canada.
