A Brief History of Riverview

Riverview is an unincorporated community in Hillsborough County rather than a legally chartered city, and its history stretches back to the 1830s, when settlers established themselves on the south bank of the Alafia River in an area once known by the indigenous name Peru.

The community now called Riverview took shape on the river's north shore, where surveyors platted the settlement in 1891; a post office opened that same year under a name chosen to reflect its position overlooking the water.

For much of the early twentieth century Riverview remained a small rural crossroads, only formally absorbing the older Peru settlement in the 1940s. Beginning in the 1990s, Riverview transformed through rapid suburban homebuilding into one of the fastest-growing census-designated places in the Tampa Bay region.

Riverview's Economy Today

Because Riverview is unincorporated, it has no separate municipal government or dedicated city budget; its economy functions as an extension of unincorporated Hillsborough County and the broader Tampa metropolitan area.

Retail, health care, and technology have expanded quickly alongside the area's residential growth, with large employers such as Tampa General Hospital and an Amazon fulfillment center offering jobs to residents who might otherwise commute farther into Tampa.

New commercial corridors have followed the wave of subdivisions built since the 1990s, with national retailers, grocery chains, and service businesses opening locations to serve a rapidly expanding population.
