| • | Riverview is a town in south-eastern New Brunswick, Canada located on the south side of the Petitcodiac River, opposite the much larger city of Moncton. Riverview is located in Albert County. It has an area of 34 km² and a population density of 500.3/km². As of the 2000 census it had a population of 17,010. Although this population is sufficient for Riverview to petition the province to be reclassified as a city, the municipal government has opted to remain as a town. This is partly because New Brunswick requires that all "cities" be officially bilingual and since Riverview is 94% anglophone, there is resistence to this concept amongst the populace. Riverview is a principally residential community with a limited tax base from commercial development and virtually no industrial tax base. This also hampers any aspirations Riverview might have towards becoming a city. Riverview continues to grow however, and with the new four lane Gunningsville Bridge connecting directly to Moncton's downtown due to open in late 2005, Riverview should have no difficulty holding on to the distinction of being New Brunswick's "largest town". Riverview covers an area of 34.26 square kilometres.
