Riverton is a borough located in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 2,764,[9] a decrease of 15 (−.5%) from the 2010 census count of 2,779,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 20 (+0.7%) from the 2,759 counted in the 2000 census.[20] The borough, and all of Burlington County, is a part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[21]

Riverton was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on December 18, 1893, from portions of Cinnaminson Township, based on the results of a referendum held six days earlier. Portions of the borough were taken to form Palmyra Township on April 19, 1894.[22] The borough's name is derived from The Riverton Improvement Company, which was established after a group of ten purchased a 120-acre (49 ha) that would be the site of a planned community with homes erected for many of the founders along the riverfront.[23]

It is a dry town, where alcohol cannot be sold legally.[24][25] The borough's dry status was an early character of the borough, with a clause inserted starting in 1952 by the Riverton Improvement Company into deeds for all properties in the community that prohibited the sale or manufacture of alcoholic beverages.[23][26]

The borough is located on the Delaware River and is pedestrian-friendly, with sidewalks, gas lamps, and Victorian architecture. Riverton is home to the Riverton Yacht Club, one of the oldest active yacht clubs in the country.[27] Many residents' sailboats make their home at this landmark.

Government

Local government

Riverton is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[39] The governing body is composed of a mayor and a borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[6] The borough form of government used by Riverton is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[40][41]

As of 2024, the mayor of Riverton is Democrat James Quinn, whose term of office ends December 31, 2027.[3] Members of the Riverton Borough Council are Council President Edgar Wilburn (D, 2026), Scott Reed (R, 2026), Leslie Harrison (D, 2027), Katie Lucas (D, 2027), Joseph Creighton (D, 2028), and Nicole Belolan (D, 2028).[42][43][44][45][46][47]

In January 2016, the borough council selected Kirk Fullerton from three names nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2016 that was vacated by Susan Cairns Wells when she took office as mayor.[48]
