The Town of Belvidere in Warren County sits at the western edge of the New Jersey Highlands along the Delaware River.  The County seat of Warren County, Belvidere is characterized by a number of historic buildings, many serving as administration buildings including the County courthouse, which faces a central square. A number of Victorian era homes surround the square and the adjacent neighborhoods, with a rural agricultural landscape stretching beyond the downtown area. Belvidere is located entirely within the Planning Area of the Highlands.
