Just rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it?
Belvidere is a town of 2,700 in the northwest section of the New Jersey, right along the border with Pennsylvania. It dates back to 1845, and is known for its Victorian houses. The town name means “beautiful view.” Wikipedia lists 15 “famous” Belvidereans I’ve never heard of.
The high school has 350 students. Sports teams seem to have had the most success in the rather more obscure sports of wrestling & field hockey.
As for the mascot … Well, Belvidere is the county seat.
I just have to wonder, though, if they couldn’t have come up with something a little more interesting. Or boring even – you know, bulldogs, eagles, tigers, whatever.
Interestingly, the mascot appears to be a muscular and angry raccoon.
Not sure where that came from.
And, yes, they typically call themselves the Seaters, a word that is usually associated with furniture.
