Riverview is located in Hillsborough County, Florida, near Brandon. Riverview (originally called Peru) was founded in 1856 on the Alafia River's south shore. Peru is the Indian word for "straight part of the river." The Peruvian Mining Company, which mined phosphate from the Alafia took its name from the settlement of Peru. The term Alafia is translated as "River of Fire" due to the phosphorus on the early river bottom glowing at night. The Riverview name eventually came into usage in the early 1940's.
Riverview has two self storage facilities, including Extra Space Storage-Riverview-US Highway 301 South (6506 US Highway 301 South), located in northern Riverview, roughly five miles southwest of beautiful Bloomingdale Hills Park. Many of Tampa Bay's radio and television stations broadcast from an antenna farm in the Riverview area, on Boyette Road, southeast of town. Also on Boyette Road, you will find many self storage options at Metro Self Storage-Boyette Road (10813 Boyette Road), at the intersection of Highway 301 (Highway 43) and Boyette Road, right next to Riverview Plaza.
