Riverside is an unincorporated community in Eddy County, New Mexico, in the southwestern United States.[1] It is located on the left bank (east side) of the Pecos River about five miles east of Artesia, New Mexico on U.S. Route 82 (Lovington Highway).[2] Riverside is in the Loco Hills Division of Eddy County.[3]
The community of Riverside grew up in the 1970s as a place for oil workers' mobile homes and oil field support.[1] It was almost abandoned in the early 1980s, but came back in the 1990s as oil prices rose. Mack Energy Corporation has its corporate offices in Riverside.[4]
