In 1910, the road that starts at the Lake Flower dam at foot of Main Street and runs south down the western shore of the lake was called Maple Street. The first left off of Maple Street going south, where Maple drifted away from the lake, was Woodland Avenue. By 1917, the northernmost section of Maple Street, together with all of Woodland Avenue, had been renamed Riverside Drive. By 1928, Maple Steet had been renamed Kiwassa Road. In 2004, when the village addresses were changed in the implementation of the 911 Emergency Response System, the northernmost section was renamed Kiwassa Road, so that now, Riverside Drive starts at Kiwassa. See map, below.

Adirondack Daily Enterprise, May 5, 1936
WPA RIVERSIDE DRIVE PROJECT STARTS MAY 13
Improvements to Riverside Drive will start on May 13, according to an announcement made by Village Manager Millar Johnson at a meeting of the village board last night.
Listed as a WPA project, the work will include widening the present road to thirty-five feet, removal of the sidewalk to the lake shore side of the road, and the installation of new curbing.
In connection with the project Trustee Sol Drutz made a motion that Paul Smith's Electric Light Company be instructed to remove overhead wires and poles and to arrange for the installation of ornamental street lights on the new sidewalk.
Approximately four months will be required to complete the work, at which forty-eight men will be given work four days per week.
The appropriation calls for an estimated expenditure of $17,400, of which approximately $10,200 will be furnished by the federal government and the balance $7,200 by the village.
Detail from a 1902 photograph of part of Riverside Drive (click to enlarge). Pre-2004 street numbers are shown in red. Apparently taken from River Street near the Colbath Cottage. For the full photograph, see Lake Flower
