Beltsville's history dates back to 1649, when the land was part of an 80,000-acre land grant given to Richard Snowden I by Lord Baltimore of England. Snowden & his family established large plantations with manor homes. Soon after, other settlers moved into the area. The principal crop was tobacco; because of the fertile soil & desirable growing conditions, the crops prospered.
Industry came to Beltsville in the early 18th century when iron ore was discovered. By 1730, Post Road (now part of US 1) was the main thoroughfare through town. In 1783, Gabriel Peterson Van Horn established a stage line and built the Van Horn Tavern on Odell Road, where passengers could spend the night as they traveled between Baltimore and Washington. 

In 1835 one of the first rail lines in the country, the Washington branch of the B&O Railroad (Baltimore & Ohio) was built through PG County. The line ran through Laurel and southwesterly to Bladensburg, then into DC. B&O established a rail stop & freight depot on land purchased from Truman Belt. The Baltimore-Washington Turnpike crossed the rail line in Beltsville and the town soon became a thriving trading center.

According to the 2020 U.S. Census, Beltsville has a total area of 7.2 square miles, mostly land and 0.04 square miles water. Beltsville has a 17,922 population with a median age of 37.2 and a median household income of $81,980. The median property value was $327,100.
