It was first proposed by [[User:Heitzig-j|Jobst Heitzig]] on the [[Election-methods mailing list]]:
* [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-April/012666012701.html First proposal]
* [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-April/012671012706.html slight refinement]
* [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-October/013971014018.html More concise definition]. In this last version, River is defined very similarly to ranked pairs.
* [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-October/014102014147.html Example using 2004 baseball scores]. This shows how a 14-candidate election winner can be determined much more quickly using River than with RP or [[Schulze method|Schulze]].
* [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2004-April/012678012713.html Early criticism of the River method]. This shows that the River method violates mono-add-top and mono-remove-bottom
 
River can be interpreted as a [[Minmax]] method, Minmax(non-cyclic pairwise loss) or MMNCPL. It is similar to Minmax(winning votes) except that River elects the candidate whose greatest ''non-cyclic'' pairwise loss to another candidate is least. As in [[Ranked Pairs]], the greatest pairwise loss (GPL) of each candidate is considered in order from largest (among all candidates) to smallest and locked. If a candidate's GPL is cyclic, it is discarded, and the next-greatest pairwise loss of that candidate is added to the list. When the non-cyclic greatest pairwise losses of (N-1) candidates have been locked, the remaining candidate is the winner.
