However, in the 1830s settlers arrived on the south side of the river at an area formerly known as `` Peru '' ( pronounced `` Pe - Roo '' ) because Peru was an indigenous name for `` straight part of the river ''. Peru existed for nearly 100 years and was one of the oldest settlements in central Florida. It was n't until the 1940s that Riverview absorbed Peru, and now claims the south side of the Alafia River. The Peruvian Mining Company, which mined phosphate from the Alafia, took its name from the settlement. The term `` Alafia '' is translated as `` River of Fire '' due to the phosphorus on the early riverbottom glowing at night. The area 's first school was built in 1893, inside the Peru Baptist Church. The area called Riverview began to be populated on the north side of the river. The two communities were connected by a river ferry. Soon after, a bridge was constructed from sections of a bridge that once spanned the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa. The post office periodically was moved from the Riverview side to the Peru side of the river and back, causing much tension. The Riverview name eventually came into usage in the early 1940s by the post office to relieve just such confusion with the mail. Peru has disappeared from all but the earliest maps. Some of Peru 's or Riverview 's settlers include the Barnes, Bourgees, Boyettes, Brandons, Buzbees, Hackneys, Hancocks, Hartleys, Mansfields, Moodys, Simmons, Scotts, Symmes, Topes, Thompsons, Whitts, and the Yeomans. The area founded by the Boyette family is now the community of Boyette, located in the eastern part of the Riverview CDP. The first commercial poultry farm in Florida was established by Emmet and Myrtle Tope in Riverview in 1921. Geography Riverview is located southeast of the center of Hillsborough County.
