The Riverview Cemetery Company was incorporated by a group of local businessmen on Dec. 29, 1892 with a mission to establish a cemetery "near and convenient" to the City of Charlottesville and properly ornamented with "trees, shrubbery, or flowers." In Feb. 1892 the Company made its first land purchase of 27 acres from the Charlottesville Land Company for $6,987.50. Riverview continued to amass small quantities of land over the years from neighboring lot owners, residents, and the Albemarle Golf Club on its western border. Local residents Henry Clay Marchant, Mrs. M.J. Burgess, and J.S. Barksdale purchased the first burial plots on December 6, 1894.
The cemetery is still privately owned.
