The Riverview area was first highlighted in the writings of Washington Irving, perhaps the best known author of his time. On October 14, 1832, while participating in a U.S. Army survey of Indian Territory, Irving stopped to rest at what is known today as the McBirney Spring. He was so impressed with the beauty of the area that he recorded his thoughts about the setting in his journal.
