Riverdale (town)

"Riverdale would no longer be 'the town with pep'. From now on it would be known as 'the town that dreaded sundown'."

- Jughead in narration

Riverdale is a small town in the United States, founded in 1941 by the Blossom family. The town is divided into two parts. The Northside, where the rich live and the home to The Red Circle group, and The Southside, where the poor live and the home to the Southside Serpents.

The Northside appear to be more livable and prosperous, with everything usually running smoothly over there and a lower crime rate than the Southside. On the other hand, the Southside is rougher and tough for the citizens who live there. It is also home to several criminal gangs such as Southside Serpents and Ghoulies, involved in drug trafficking and other illicit activities which come secretly across the Northside boundary. Because of this, the Southsiders are usually frowned upon on by the Northside, due to the way they live and are generally accused of criminal activities that occur on the Northside of Riverdale.

Both sides generally kept their noses out of each others' business. However, things changed when a dangerous criminal known as the Black Hood started committing violent crimes, generally occurring on the Northside only, and towards sinful people. For this reason, relations between the two sides of the town have become noticeably harsh, assuming complicity on the part of the southsiders.
