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.

Today, duty-free shops are one of the main economic resources of Rivera.
Rivera is a former municipality in the district of Lugano in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland. The municipalities of Medeglia, Bironico, Camignolo, Rivera and Sigirino merged on 21 November 2010 into the new municipality of Monteceneri.

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.

I leave it up me me, girl
You tell me when and I'll act
By the first light of dawn
Daddy will be on his way
By the first light of dawn
No more daddy, I say
I leave it up to me, girl
You tell me when a
And I'll make him disappear
I can feel the sun will soon be here
Get away from that string, my dear
What do you think you're doing, Lucy
Too late, I should have
Seen it coming my way
Glass from the broken window
Oh, so high above
Heading straight for my neck
By the first light of dawn
My body lost its head
By the first light of dawn
Oh God, I'm dead
I feel my soul is
Creeping up into my brain
I guess I would be scared
If I weren't already dead
But my blackened heart has told me
No one really cares anyway
Lucy, what are you doing now
Do not set him free, girl
Lucy, what are you doing now
You better take a listen to my head
Did you hear what it said
The view is so very strange
So strange from here
Facing the floor is hard
When you're nothing but a ball
How could the mayor win
And I become one of them
I'm just a head on the floor
My body is over there
But I am still right here
Lucy, come back to me
Lucy, you cannot leave me like this
Lucy, I hear your little feet coming my way
Pick me up and let us head for home
But not a word to Daddy
So she puts my head her backpack
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever
