Riverbend is a residential area in the southwest portion of the City of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. It was established in 1972 through Edmonton City Council's adoption of the Riverbend-Terwillegar Heights District Outline Plan, which originally guided the overall development of Riverbend and Terwillegar Heights to the south, and the Riverbend Implementation Plan.[4] As of 1978, Riverbend was the portion of the outline plan area that was within Edmonton's city limits as they existed at the time.[4] In 1979, Edmonton City Council adopted the Riverbend Area Structure Plan to guide further development of the southern portion of Riverbend.[4]
The community is represented by the Riverbend Community League, established in 1970, which maintains a community hall located on Rhatigan Road East beside the Earl Buxton School.[5][6]
