Riverchase is a 3,000-acre planned community divided by the Cahaba River on the Jefferson County/Shelby County border on either side of U.S. Highway 31. It was planned as a joint venture of Harbert Construction Corporation and the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. The $500 million scheme was announced at a luncheon at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center's Exhibition Hall in June 1974.

Much of Riverchase has been annexed by Hoover since its construction.
