[citation needed][1] Riverbend was first settled as a farming community in what was at the time the small village of Columbus.

The farm first settled was located on what was formally the Virginia Military District by William T. Clime in 1834.

[3] Most of the neighborhood, including Big Run Park, was annexed into the city in the late 1960s and the early 1970s.

This Columbus area park is home to the Big Run Soap Box Derby.

The branch in Riverbend is located on 1571 Demorest Road, directly west of Big Run Park.

[6] Post Oak Station is an affordable housing project for low income families located on 1383 Vida Way, only 2 blocks south of Clime Road.
