Riverstone is a project of Johnson Development Corp., which Larry Johnson founded in 1975. Riverstone opened in 2001 and recorded its first sale in September of that year. In 2005, the developer acquired another 1,100 acres for the master plan.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality created MUD 149 on August 21, 2007. It covers about 756 acres of Riverstone. The Texas Legislature’s 2007 Senate Bill 1978 dealt with Fort Bend County LID 19 and its power to build roads in unincorporated Fort Bend County.

The City of Sugar Land lists Fort Bend County LID 15 among the nine levee improvement districts that operate within Sugar Land.
