History
On 21 March 1860 a pueblo (village) named Pereira was created by the Act of Ley Nº 614.
On 7 May 1862, it was substituted by the villa (town) named Ceballos and founded by the Act of Ley Nº 704, in honour of the Spanish viceroy Pedro de Cevallos. In July 1867 it took on the official name Rivera and was recognized as a villa. The Brazilian town Santana do Livramento already existed just across the border. On 1 October 1884, it became capital of the Department of Rivera by the Act of Ley Nº 1.757. Its status was elevated to ciudad (city) on 10 June 1912 by the Act of Ley Nº 4.006.
In 1943, the Plaza Internacional Rivera-Livramento (see photo) was built to celebrate the Fifth Conference of the Commission Mixta for Mixed Limits and as a hope for the future integration of the two towns, claimed to be the only international square in the world. From 1851 to this day, inhabitants of both communities are free to move in both sides. Customs and checkpoints are located outside the cities. Today, duty-free shops are one of the main economic resources of Rivera.
Rivera is first mentioned in 1296 as Sorenzino. In 1348 it was mentioned as Rivera.
Archeological objects and graves from the Iron Age and the Roman era have been found in Rivera. In the Middle Ages, Rivera was part of the valley community of Carvina. In the 13th Century Como Cathedral possessed estates in Sorencino. Starting in 1678, representatives from the twelve members of the Swiss Confederation in Ticino met in Casa dei landfogti before they assembled in Lugano.
Rivera was a member of the parish of Bironico, before it became an independent parish in 1754. From 1779 until 1793, the parish church of S. Spirito was rebuilt.
The villagers earned their living from agriculture, mostly in alpine meadows and pastures. During construction of the Ceneri tunnel in 1872-82, the population increased sharply. The completion of the road in 1811 and the construction of the tunnel and the station led to the emergence of a new district in the flatter part of the valley. This area forms the northern boundary of the agglomeration of Lugano. The base station of the Monte Tamaro gondola opened in 1972 in Rivera.
Rivera is a surname of Spanish and Italian origin which was the old spelling of ribera, the Spanish word of “riverbank”.
The name Rivera is a Northern Italian variation of the Southern (Sicily) Ribera name. Other forms of spellings:Riva, Rivero, Riviere, Riba, just to name a few.
Rivera is also a French surname
"They feel that a lot of times they can't trust the police."
"It looks like we reached the community we wanted to reach."
"We got a few guys on base early in the game, but we could not execute and we could not get those guys in. At the end, that was what really haunted us."
"Tomorrow we've got to show up with the same attitude, with the same desire and with the same approach we did today."
"These guys are warriors over here. We know that we've got a great chance to win the championship. And everybody knows. Everybody's very confident that we're going to come back tomorrow and beat these guys."
"We still need to win three games. I feel like if we win those three games, there's going to be a huge celebration."
"It worked out perfect. If the guys want to do that - miss a bunt and then hit home runs - that's fine with me. But they've got to make sure they hit home runs."
"We've had a plan to win five games after the season was over, and we've got two. So we're just looking for three more, one at a time."
"Latin America is the place to be right now. The legal framework is there and these incredible mineral prices mean that sites we know about can finally be developed."
