Richmond

Richmond was founded as a frontier fort in 1822 and by 1900 had grown into a small incorporated town. It underwent its first period of real growth after World War II when several subdivisions were built between 1940 and 1965. Today, it's experiencing a much larger wave of growth as more and more people are attracted to the southwest suburbs of Houston. Richmond offers easy access to several highways, expanding city services and highly rated schools, so it is a popular choice for suburban homebuyers.
