History

Riviera Beach was originally called Oak Lawn, but the settlement was renamed Riviera in 1893. It wasn’t until 1941 that “Beach” was added, though it was incorporated in 1922 as only the “Town of Riviera”. In 1959, it converted from a “town” status to the present-day “City of Riviera Beach”. For the first half of the 20th century, its nickname was “Conch Town”, after the many Conch people (Bahamians and Bahamian Americans) who resided in the city. The city was named after the French Riviera.
