"A Perfect Village in a Perfect Setting", that was the directive given to renowned architect, Frederick Law Olmsted in 1869 as noted on the Village of Riverside website. It continues, "Over the past 130 years since incorporation, Riverside has matured into a beautiful, vibrant 'Village in the Forest. ' Many of the original elements of Olmsted's plan, including expansive green parkways, gas-lit street lanterns, and curvilinear streets, are still intact, and as a result, the Village has enjoyed a National Historic Landmark designation since 1970."
