Riverwoods was incorporated in 1959 and has developed into a peaceful community, secluded from the industry and commercialism of surrounding suburbs. Country homes built on large wooded lots still prevail, with village zoning to protect the densely wooded areas. It has retained its rustic, wooded environment as a result of carefully planned zoning laws prohibiting excess development
