Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Belvidere, TN

Belvidere is a census-designated place (CDP) and unincorporated community in Franklin County, in the southern part of Middle Tennessee.

The Census Bureau counted Belvidere as a CDP for the first time in the 2020 census, which recorded 96 residents.

The CDP occupies only about half a square mile of land, so its 96 residents lived at a density of roughly 200 people per square mile in 2020.

The 2020 census counted 39 households in Belvidere, within a total of 43 housing units, and most occupied homes were owner-occupied.

Belvidere's name is of Italian origin and means 'beautiful sight,' according to Larry L. Miller's Tennessee Place-names.

A post office has been in operation at Belvidere since 1870.

Belvidere has its own ZIP code, 37306, and its telephone area code is 931.

Southwest of Belvidere, on Factory Creek, stands Falls Mill, a three-story brick textile factory built in 1873 that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

Falls Mill now operates as the Museum of Power and Industry, and its 32-foot water wheel, installed in 1906, still powers machinery in the mill, where cornmeal, flour, and grits are stone-ground.

In the village's mill-era heyday, the settlement around the mill included a textile factory, a mercantile store, a cotton gin, a blacksmith shop, a post office, and a school.
