Beldra sits at the end of what has been frequently referred to as "Urcea's best natural harbor", Navesreca Bay, whose etymology originates with the Latin term for "sailor's rest".
Beginning in the medieval period, Beldra became the primary {{wp|port of entry}} for all goods traded into and out of the [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]], and the city began to explode in size and activity beginning in the early 13th century. All trade imported into the Archduchy and, consequently, up the [[Urce River]] had to first be declared at Beldra with a registry of goods issued by Royal customs officials at the port of Beldra. Royal customs officials, and industries related to their work, became a major feature of Beldra from the medieval period up through the end of the early modern period.
