History
The village of Belovo for the first time is mentioned in 1726. It was named after a fugitive peasant Fyodor Belov, who built a small taiga house, a so-called zaimka, on the bank of the Bachat River. The year of 1855 was a new page in the history of settlement: the mining of mineral resources on the found coal field began. In 1938, Belovo was granted town status.[2] The town developed as a conglomeration of departmental settlements, whose population was directly or indirectly involved with the coal mines, a power station, and the railway.
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Belovo serves as the administrative center of Belovsky District, even though it is not a part of it.[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with four urban-type settlements (Bachatsky, Gramoteino, Inskoy, and Novy Gorodok) and two rural localities, incorporated separately as Belovo Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, Belovo Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated as Belovsky Urban Okrug.[6]

By the volume of extracted coal the city is a stable member of three leaders together with Novokuznetsk and Mezhdurechensk. 63% of industrial outputs of the city are due to coal extraction, which is performed at 4 open pits and 5 underground mines.
