Incorporated as a city on September 29, 1922, Riviera Beach is a nautical city home to mostly African American citizens.
As a show of support to then President Barack Obama and fellow African American, a stretch of the Old Dixie Highway piercing its neighborhood was renamed as President Barack Obama Highway.
Riviera Beach was originally known as simply the Riviera, inspired by the French Riviera. The “beach” was added to its name in 1913 to denote its beachfront location.
Its boundaries include Silver Beach Road to the north, Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, North Congress Avenue to the south and the Haverhill Road to the west. It is surrounded by the neighborhoods of Lake Park to its north, Mangonia Park and Palm Beach Shores to its south and the West Palm Beach to its south and west area.
Majority of the Singer Island’s neighborhood is within the city limits of Riviera Beach, but its southern tip belongs to the Palm Beach Shores.
