history
The first settlers in the area came from Yorkshire in 1733 . The city was founded in 1973 after the villages of Bridgedale , Gunningsville and Riverview Heights merged . The name Riverview (river view) came about almost inevitably due to its location on the Petitcodiac River. The city supports the nearby and much larger Moncton with suppliers and serves as a quiet residential area. A specialty of Riverview is the production of maple syrup and maple sugar . The traditional Maple Sugar Festival is celebrated in April each year towards the end of the maple syrup season .
