History

In 1855, the Rabbit Lake Indian Reservation for the Rabbit Lake Band of Mississippi Chippewa was established in the area by the Treaty of Washington also known as the Treaty with the Chippewa (10 Stat. 1165). Soon afterwards, a village of Ojibway (or Ogibeway) was established at the mouth of Rabbit River. However, maps from the 1860s depict the village of Ojibway instead located either at the mouth of the Cedar River or at the mouth of the Ripple River.

Riverton was incorporated in 1912. A post office called Riverton was established in 1913, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1965. The city was named from its location near the Rabbit River.
