About Richmond, Indiana

Richmond is a city in eastern Wayne County, Indiana, United States. In 1806 the first European Americans in the area, Quaker families from the state of North Carolina, settled along the East Fork of the Whitewater River. This was part of a general westward migration in the early decades after the American Revolution. (Wikipedia)
