Online Highways Home > Rhode Island > Richmond The Town of Richmond, originally a part of Charlestown, was incorporated August 18, 1747. It was probably named in honor of Edward Richmond, the Attorney General of the colony from 1671 to 1680, who took an active part in the original settlement of the area. A large portion of the town was included in the Shannock Purchase, a tract of vacant land sold by the Commissioners of the General Assembly to a company of purchasers in 1709. Points of interest in Richmond include the Bell School, a one room school house established in 1826, and used until 1934, and Shannock Falls, the location of a fierce battle between the Narragansett Indians and the Pequot Indians for possession of fishing rights. Richmond is located in Washington County. Accommodations in Richmond include Country Acres Bed And Breakfast and Inn The Woods.
