BELVIDERE.
This city is beautifully situated on the banks of the Kishwaukee river, in the midst of a rich and exceedingly productive agricultural district, surrounded as it is with ! all the advantages necessary to a modern city, with its 'broad streets and avenues, finely shaded lawns, neat and attractive residences, substantial blocks and business houses, and important manufactories, the like of which no other city can boast; illumined by electricity, a good system of water supply, gas, sewerage (natural), schools, churches, opera house, etc .; also recently constructed a street car system, now in operation, which is equipped with all the latest improved electrical appliances (con- necting the north side with the south side of the river) covering about three miles of trackage.
Belvidere's history extends over a period of sixty-one years, during which time it has had its days of prosperity and adversity, yet it has had a steady, substantial growth since its inception and a bright prosperous future lies be- · fore her, judging as we do from the natural advantages with which she is surrounded, and the valuable resources, . the enterprise and thrift that characterize her capitalists and business men.
BRIEF HISTORY.
The early settlement of Belvidere was in 1835. The pioneers were Arcibald Metcalf, David Dunham, John K.

Towner, Cornelius Cline, Erastus A Nixon, S. P. Doty and Dr. D. H. Whitney. In the same year the "Belvidere Company" was organized for the purpose of improve- ment, establishing a trading post and erecting saw and grist mills, and the projectors were Ebenezer Peck and Dr. Goodhue of Chicago. In 1836 a State road was put through, touching Belvidere. The first election was held that same year and the total votes cast were 37. In the fall of the same year a postoffice was established and S. S. Whitman appointed postmaster. A temporary organ- ization was effected in 1847 in conformity with the State law, continuing for one year. It was reincorporated as a village in 1857 and the following officers were elected: Warren Pierce, Israel Tripp, D. W. Read and Cephas Gar- dener, board of trustees; the former was selected as presi- dent; which position fell to one of the ex-officio. During the intervening ten years the affairs of the village were administrated by the county judge and two associate jus- tices. In 1852 the Chicago & North Western Railroad Company finished its line to Belvidere. The Madison di- vision was completed the following year. The Spring Valley division was put through in 1885. Belvidere became a city in 1SS2, incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois. W. D. Swail was elected Mayor. Belvidere has now a population of nearly S,000. The city boundary is W. 1% of section 25, the whole of section 26, the E. % of the N. E. 14 of section 35; the whole of the N. W. 14 of section 36 and 4 blocks in Highland's addition.
