Richview Street "was so called from Richview House, whose entrance was from the Blackstaff Road (now Donegall Road)". (Belfast Street Names. John J. Marshall)
The 1905 Belfast / Ulster Street Directory indicates Richview House alongside Richview Brickworks on the Donegall Road.
"On the application of the Market Estates Company, Ltd., a new street on their property off Donegall Road was named Richview Street". (Report in the Belfast News-Letter - Wednesday 26 August 1914).
