Riverside, Missouri
Riverside is a city in Platte County, Missouri, and part of the Kansas City metropolitan area in the United States. The population was 4,013 at the 2020 census.
Riverside lies on the edge of the Missouri River and was formally incorporated in 1951.
For many years, the town was known for its Riverside Race Track. The Riverside Park Jockey Club operated from 1928 to 1937 and was popularly called Pendergast Track after its patron, the city boss of Kansas City, Tom Pendergast, although he was not officially on its organization papers. The horse racing track was on the site of a former dog racing track. The track operated under a questionable legal basis. The site was supplanted by an automobile race track, which closed in the 1990s.
The Argosy Gaming Company has a casino along the river.
The Riverside Red X store was founded as a gas station in 1948 by Edward Young. He and local business owners Ferd Filger and Dr. Thomas M. Eagle led the incorporation of Riverside in 1951, after both Parkville and Kansas City expressed interest in annexing the area. As of 2015[update], the store was still owned by the Young family.
The Renner Village Archeological Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.79 square miles (15.00 km2), of which 5.51 square miles (14.27 km2) is land and 0.28 square miles (0.73 km2) is water.
