About Riverton
Welcome to Riverton, Utah
Riverton sits along the Jordan River in southwest Salt Lake County, with trailhead access to the regional Jordan River Parkway trail system. First settled in the mid-1850s and originally named Gardnersville after early landowner Archibald Gardner, the community was renamed Riverton in 1879 by Judge Charles Smith. The South Jordan Canal, completed in 1876, and the Utah and Salt Lake Canal, finished in 1881, opened the area's benchland to farming, and the city's own history places its incorporation in 1948. Today Riverton is home to Intermountain Riverton Hospital — recognized among the country's top 100 hospitals — the Primary Children's Outpatient Center, and the 94-acre Mountain View Village mixed-use development. The Old Dome Meeting Hall at Riverton City Park, built 1899–1908 and dedicated in 1920, remains the city's signature historic landmark. Riverton High School, home of the Silverwolves, is the only public high school physically located in the city, though Jordan School District's boundaries mean some Riverton neighborhoods feed into Herriman, Mountain Ridge, or Bingham High instead. Riverton's civic calendar centers on Riverton Town Days each summer — a multi-day celebration with a rodeo, parade, carnival, and fireworks — alongside a Half Marathon each March, the Bunny Hop Easter egg hunt each April, and Jordan River Night each September.
