Riverview, on the north shore of the Alafia River south of Brandon, was founded in 1885, but settlers had arrived on the south side of the river in the 1830s, at a place called Peru, said to be a Native name for the "straight part of the river." Peru lasted nearly 100 years as one of the oldest settlements in Central Florida, and the Peruvian Mining Company, which mined phosphate from the Alafia, took its name from it. The name Alafia is translated "River of Fire," for phosphorus on the riverbed that glowed at night.
More about Riverview
The area's first school was built in 1893 inside the Peru Baptist Church. Riverview grew on the north side of the river, and a ferry connected the two communities until Riverview absorbed Peru in the 1940s.
