Learn more about Riverview
Riverview was almost a part of Trenton! As history goes, there was a literal race to Lansing for the space that is nowRiverview. A Trenton official/group submitted a petition to annex the area that is now Riverview, however a Riverview official/group got to Lansing first (by an hour), which resulted in Riverview becoming its own city. The city is known for the Nike Ajax missile silos, which were located behind what is now City Hall. The Nike Missile Site existed to protect the Metro Detroit area, specifically the automobile and steel industries. Today, Riverview is home to the annual Summerfest event, which includes a carnival, helicopter rides, a firework show, a fishing derby, and all kinds of food options. Residents can enjoy activities during all seasons at the city’s 12 different parks and nature areas, including ice skating and hockey on the Reflection Pond at Young Patriot’s Park when it freezes over in the winter months. The Riverview Community School District offers a variety of programs such as their K-8 STEAM Program, Individualized College and Career Readiness Program, dual enrollment, and career technical education.
All of these reasons along with the wonderful history of the Riverview community make this city an extremely desirable place to live, work, and play.
