City of Richmond, British Columbia is a land of many peoples. First Nations people were the first to come to the islands to fish and collect berries. The Coast Salish bands were known to have set up temporary camps, and they are said to have had year long dwellings on the islands which were scattered and moved from year to year. There are also reports of villages that existed at one time near Steveston and on Sea Island.
There are four theories as to how the City of Richmond, in British Columbia, got its name.
- One is that it was named after a county in Ontario from which many first settlers came.
- Another is that it was named after "Richmond View", a ranch in Australia where one of the first settlers had lived.
- A third is that it was named after an area in Australia near the aforementioned ranch.
- The last is that it was named after a town or county in England.
Unfortunately members of the first municipal government (formed in 1879) did not leave any written confirmation of how the new town got its name. Subsequent research and information donated from the first settlers here, have revealed connections with counties and towns named "Richmond" in Australia, Ontario and England.
