Richmond

Located within the Local Government Area of the City of Hawkesbury, Richmond, New South Wales lays at the foot o the Blue Mountains on the Hawkesbury River flats. At the 2006 census, there were approximately 5,560 people in the town. When European settlers arrived in 1789, they were met by the local inhabitants, the Darug people. The British called the area Richmond Hill, in honour of Charles Lennox. Governor Phillip named it for his Master General of Ordnance, Lennox, the third Duke of Richmond. After Sydney and Parramatta, Richmond was the third British settlement in the country. The settlers who arrived in 1784 began farming near what is today’s Pitt Town Bottoms. The colony was desperate for food, and within a few years, more than half the colony’s grain supply was provided by these farms. In 1795, The Battle of Richmond Hill was fought between the settlers and the Darug. The expressed intent of the battle was to destroy the local Aboriginal population of the Richmond area. This was the first instance of colonial authorities sending in troops for that expressed purposes. During World War II, the RAAF had a bunker somewhere in Richmond, but its location remains unknown.
