2/20/2020 Marked the 125th Year of the Incorporation of the Town of Riverside!
Written as a reminder of those events and people that came before us and helped shape Riverside’s beginning, the Riverside Historical Society details and describes the 19th-century residents who contributed to Riverside’s prosperity as a community. Read how their interactions helped in the transformation of this small section of Burlington County from a few scattered farms, with very few residents, into the Township of Riverside.
Winner of Burlington County History Recognition Committee's 2020 Published History Award, “Progress to Riverside: A Story of Our Town’s Past” was written by Trustee, Herm Maurer and was published and sold by the 501(c)(3) non-profit Riverside Historical Society.
