Welcome to Belvidere!

It’s not often you find a place where you feel at home right away - but that’s exactly what you will find when you enter Boone County. Nestled amongst gently rolling farmland in north central Illinois, you will find everything you need to make that feeling come alive for you - a feeling of coming home to the best things in life!

Belvidere, the county seat, is a growing community with a small-town atmosphere. The outlying villages of Poplar Grove, Capron, Garden Prairie, Caledonia and Timberlane all welcome you with rural charm and a family atmosphere. Community and caring mean a lot to everyone who lives here, newcomers and life-long residents alike. Preserving our quality of life is of the utmost concern, and efforts to ensure that it continues far into the future are ongoing.

The Belvidere Area Chamber of Commerce strives to promote our community by encouraging the growth and prosperity of our member businesses. Having a strong economic base made up of thriving commercial and industrial businesses provides stability and strength for the community to continue on its progressive path. We are here to serve our community and our region, now and in the future.

As such, the Chamber invites you to visit Belvidere and Boone County to see what we mean by that "Hometown Feeling." Once you feel it for yourself, you will want to be a part of this vibrant community that treasures its past and looks forward with anticipation to its future. Come experience and enjoy the wonderful feeling of coming home again!
