100 MAIN STREET, RIVERTON, NJ 08077

Welcome to 100 Main Street, one of first 11 homes built in Riverton and listed on the Historical Register!  In the mid 1800's 9 Quaker businessmen from Philadelphia conceived of an idea for a new community where they could spend their summers away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  They formed the "Riverton  Improvement Company" and purchased 120 acres along the Delaware River.  They designed the town and Riverton became what is thought to be the first planned residential community in America.
