The street was named after Edward Belcher, a Royal Navy officer who surveyed the harbour of Hong Kong in 1841.

The Ex-Western Fire Station, located at No. 12 Belcher's Street, was converted into the Po Leung Kuk Chan Au Big Yan Home for the Elderly. It is a Grade III historic building and is located along the Central and Western Heritage Trail.
