The source behind the name
USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
Located near the mouth of the Patapsco River, 17.7 km (11 mi) southeast of downtown Baltimore. (US-T121)
Named Riviera Beach by the Pumphrey brothers because the "property faces on the river, and it is in the river area." The Pumphrey brothers bought the land in the 1920s and developed the Riviera Beach Development Company. Originally the site was a summer resort, but a flood of World War II defense workers changed it into a year round community. (US-T121)
