Belvidere Township is a civil township of Montcalm County in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2000 census, the township population was 2,438. == Communities == * Six Lakes is an unincorporated community near the center of the township at on M-46 where M-66 branches to the north. A settlement named "Sumnerville" laid out by L. C. Sumner in 1873 and located approximately one half mile (1 km) east of Six Lakes was the first village platted in the township. The settlement saw some growth, but when the Chicago, Saginaw and Canada Railroad (which became part of the Pere Marquette Railway and then the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway) was built and a station was established nearer to the Flat River, Sumner subsequently sold his holdings and moved to Edmore. Hiram Clark and Dr. J. B. Daniels purchased of land around the rail station, then platted "Six Lakes" on May 13, 1876. A post office was established on December 20, 1878. 〔(Six Lakes Station ), Michigan's Internet Railroad History Museum〕 The Six Lakes post office with ZIP code 48886 serves most of Belvidere Township as well as smaller portions of Cato Township to the west, Douglass Township to the south and Millbrook Township to the north in Mecosta County.〔(ZCTA Reference Map for 48886 ), U.S. Census Bureau, 2000 census〕 * The village of Edmore is to the east in Home Township and the Edmore ZIP code 48829 also serves portions of eastern Belvidere Township.〔(ZCTA Reference Map for 48829 ), U.S. Census Bureau, 2000 census〕 * The village of Lakeview is to the west in Cato Township and the Lakeview ZIP code 48850 also serves portions of northwest Belvidere Township.〔(ZCTA Reference Map for 48850 ), U.S. Census Bureau, 2000 census〕 * The city of Stanton is to the south and the Stanton ZIP code 48888 also serves a portion of southern Belvidere Township.〔(ZCTA Reference Map for 48888 ), U.S. Census Bureau, 2000 census〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Belvidere Township, Michigan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
