The Ohio River defines the setting of Riverview — its west-bank position places this small Ohio community in the closely connected Upper Ohio Valley, across the water from Wheeling, West Virginia. The river has long served as both a transport corridor and a state boundary, while highways and bridges bind settlements on both shores into one metropolitan area. Nearby Bridgeport forms part of the historic route of the National Road, the early federally funded highway now largely followed by U.S. Route 40. Riverview provides a useful introduction to the compact river towns, crossings and industrial heritage of eastern Ohio.
