ABOUT RIVERVIEW WEST
Riverview West is directly inland from where the Santa Ana River pours into the ocean between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach. From the north, the East Garden Grove Wintersburg Channel runs southwest through Riverview West and pours into the Bolsa Chica Conservancy and ocean directly west of Riverview West. Orange County includes 13 different watersheds; the Westminster Watershed, which lies on a flat coastal plain, encompasses Riverview West. Efforts are currently underway to restore Southern California's waterways and ecosystems and provide enriching recreational and educational opportunities to residents.
Long inhabited by the Native American Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, the Acjachemen Nation, this area along the Santa Ana (Saint Anne) River has been a habitat to a diverse ecosystem and is the birthplace of Orange County, California's sordid and legendary history. Formerly predominant to this particular area are the coastal sage scrub, willows, cottonwoods, alders, sycamores, live oaks, and vast coastal wetlands; however, as legend goes, buried deep beneath parts of this neighborhood is an ancient forest of redwood trees, hence a red tint to the water drawn from deep down below the surface.
