From the 1920s the town was known as Riverdale, named for the plantation home built in the 1800s. But in 1998, it was voted to rename the town as Riverdale Park. The US Postal Service currently uses the name "Riverdale" so most residents use just "Riverdale" as their city on mail. The housing style varies here; styles range from Victorian and Craftsman to Bungalows, Ramblers and Split Foyers.
At the center of the town is the old Riverdale plantation home, which is now a historic landmark. Riverdale Park maintains its small-town feel with its tree-lined streets, historic homes and diverse cultures. Riverdale has a number of public parks, space and recreational areas as well as a nearby MARC train stop.
