Richmond TX History

In 1837, Robert Eden Handy and William Lusk established the town, selling parcels in the area. One of the 19 cities incorporated under the Republic of Texas, Richmond was named for a town in England. In the same year, it became the seat of government for Fort Bend County.

Richmond’s early residents include Deaf Smith, Jane Long, and Mirabeau B. Lamar.

In 1855, the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado Railway (BBB&C) laid tracks through the city. Thanks to the railway, Richmond thrived on shipping cattle, cotton, and sugar. The area shifted from agriculture (as a major industry) to oil production in the mid-1930s.

During the 1940s, people started moving to Richmond, a trend that continued well into the 1980s. Today, a number of new construction master-planned developments within the city’s boundaries and ETJ contribute to the area’s overall growth. Community-wide improvements like the Richmond Trail network are underway.

Many of Richmond’s historic homes were preserved, including John M. Moore’s 1883 home, the Long-Smith Cottage (1937), and the McNabb House (1850s).
