Riviera is a census-designated place in Kleberg County, Texas, United States.

He built a townsite along the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway and named it after the French Riviera.

Koch ran a train from Chicago to Riviera twice a month to bring more people to the area.

It is also the last stop for about 60 miles (97 km) to Raymondville, going south, so its gas stations and restaurants are used by many travelers heading in that direction.
