}}Riverstown is an unincorporated rural community in Wellington North township, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada.[1][2] Prior to 1999, Riverstown was located in Arthur Township.[3]

History

The Church of the Good Shepherd was established in Riverstown in 1886, and a cemetery was located nearby. In 1958, the cemetery's grave markers were placed together for display in a cement base. The church closed in 1964 and was demolished; a cairn now marks its former location next to the extant cemetery.[5][6]

A post office was located in Riverstown from 1869 to 1915.[7]

The Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway established a line through Riverstown in 1872, and a station was located there. The railway has since been abandoned and the tracks removed.[8]

By 1910, Riverstown had a shoemaker and general store, and a population of about 100.[9]
