The town of Riverton was once a thriving town that marked the beginning of the river shoals on the Tennessee River. This was a steamboat stop used for freight loading. Most of the town was flooded in the late 1930's when the Tennessee Valley Authority flooded Pickwick Lake with the completion of Pickwick Dam. Riverton is now a small community located about 150 yards south of the original town on the higher ground away from the river.
