About Riverview

Riverview is an unincorporated community in Hillsborough County, south of Brandon. The Alafia River flows through its northern part and forms part of its northeastern border. Interstate 75 forms its western edge, and U.S. Route 301 runs through the west side parallel to I-75.

Settlers arrived in the 1830s at a place called Peru. Riverview was founded in 1885 on the north shore of the Alafia River. Many Tampa Bay broadcast stations transmit from an antenna farm on Boyette Road in the Riverview area.
