A Hearty Welcome to Belvidere!
Nestled in the Highlands area of Northwest New Jersey, the town of Belvidere is located at the junction of the picturesque Delaware and Pequest rivers. The Pequest, smaller of the two, is one of the State's top trout fishing streams. The Delaware, separating Pensylvania and New Jersey, offers a variety of water sports including boating, kayaking, canoeing, tubing, and rafting.
As the county seat of Warren, Belvidere hosts a stately Courthouse. This imposing structure anchors a certified historic district containing many beautiful Victorian style homes. Founded in 1777, the town received its name from Robert Morris, signer of the Declaration of Independence and financier of the Revolution. Today, Belvidere is a thriving crossroads housing government services, boutique specialty retailers, performing arts, and tourism/recreation.

Interested in something different? Did you know Belvidere has more certified historic and Victorian structures per square mile than any other New Jersey town? The town celebrates its heritage during annual Victorian Days, generally held the first weekend after Labor Day in September. Thousands of visitors and residents stroll the streets and enjoy festivities in the town Square, many in period costume. And, at various times during the year the local Historical Society offers walking tours for an up-close look at our preserved treasures. Soon, we hope to offer after-dark paranormal tours for the truly brave. Yes, many of our homes and buildings are said to be haunted!
Enjoy your web tour...better yet, we want you to enjoy our town. We hope to see you soon in person!
