Riverview is located in Hillsborough County

Population: 12,035 Riverview is a small community, centrally located in Florida. Situated east of Tampa Bay, southeast of Tampa, and west of Lakeland and Orlando. The town is situated close to the larger cities, but yet far enough away that it maintains it's small town appeal. Riverview is about 30 minutes from the Tampa International Airport.

The Alafia River runs quietly through Riverview and empties into the Hillsborough Bay. Residents enjoy the many activities a river can provide such as boating, fishing, skiing, canoeing, jet skiing, or just having a cookout at the Riverview Civic Center (located right on the river).

There are many businesses conveniently located on or near U.S. - Highway 301 that can fulfill most of your shopping needs.

The Riverview Chamber of Commerce plans several, community events throughout the year. In the spring there is Country Jamboree complete with a Carnival, Chili Cook-off, Pie & Cookie Contest, Arts & Craft show and the winner of the Honorary Mayors race is announced. In May, we have the Annual Golf Tournament, which is great fun with great prizes. In October many of the businesses sponsor Trick-or-Treat Street, U.S.A. This is a safe street created with storefront facades, in which children go door to door receiving candy from local business people. The Lighted Christmas Boat Parade is "not to be missed". Held early in December, the Parade travels upriver on the Alafia, beginning at Williams Park on Highway 41 through Riverview and ends at the Riverview Civic Center.
