History
Until about 1876 the area was generally acknowledged to be the land of the Jicarilla Apache and their Ute allies, in 1887 it was officially excluded from the Jicarilla's new reservation. Anglo settlement began shortly thereafter. Riverside had its own post office starting from 1905 until 1938.
