Welcome to Richmond ...

So far, we found very little information about Richmond. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Richmond to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Richmond - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Richmond, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Richmond , we believe that it would have been located within present day Lincoln County<2>.

Time Zone: The area where Richmond was located is in the Pacific Time Zone (PST/PDT) and observes daylight saving time

Adding Richmond to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Richmond was in the book titled SPV's Comprehensive Railroad Atlas of North America - California & Nevada.

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Richmond, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
