Reno was established right next to the first bridge to cross the Truckee River in the late 1800s. By the mid-1900s, Reno had become famous for gaming & nightlife, and the river that ran through it took a back seat to the glitz and glamour of downtown. In the 1990s, the city created The Raymond I. Smith Truckee River Walk, which brought new attention to Reno’s scenic river corridor.
Today, local merchants are proud to welcome you back to The Riverwalk District to celebrate the beautiful place where Reno began. Reno has long been known for its constant reinvention of itself since the beginning of the Comstock Lode, through the popular 1930s and 1940s gaming and divorce era. The area along the banks of the Truckee River has been home to some of the state’s most historical treasures.
The Riverwalk Merchants Association is an energetic group of local business owners that strive to preserve the rich culture and heritage of the cities most historic district. In the early 1990s, a new business association was formed by the residents and business owners along the newly renovated Riverwalk District. The Riverwalk Merchants Association holds popular monthly and annual events that help to generate additional funds to continue the revitalization of downtown Reno.
