Dolton and Riverdale were practically one community until each incorporated as a village in 1892.
The Dolton area is drained by the Little Calumet River, which forms part of Dolton's southern border as it flows west toward Blue Island, where it originally turned east andtouched Dolton's northeast corner.
Dolton and Vincent Matthews operated the ferry until 1842, when a toll bridge was built that operated until 1856.
