Riverton

Located along the Delaware River just ten mile north of Philadelphia, Riverton is a borough in Burlington County, New Jersey that is home to around 2,700 people. It was founded in 1851 by a group of ten Philadelphians for summer homes for their families; Robert & William C. Biddle, Caleb & James Clothier, Dillwyn & William D. Parrish, Rodman Wharton, Daniel L. Miller, Jr., Chalkley Gillingham, and Prof. Charles D. Cleveland. This group, most of whom were Quakers, had discussed such a project for some time as industrialization along the Schulylkill River in Pennsylvania made that region less desirable. They wanted a site offering country living with easy access to Philadelphia. Riverton offered both. Within five months of its purchase in January 1851, the riverfront was developed as planned. The Riverton Yacht Club was organized in 1865. In 1880 it erected a clubhouse on the pier. It is the oldest Yacht Club on the Delaware River and one of the oldest in the country. Now more than 150 years old, the pier is the last remaining steamboat landing on the Delaware River. Although no longer used by paddlewheel steamboats it has remained in constant use. Today sailing enthusiasts call it home. The stick-style clubhouse is often the subject of photographers and painters.
