The quiet town of Richmond, is home to several new developments, including the popular Kings Grant. Located a few minutes south-west of Stittsville, east of Munster and north of the village of North Gower, Richmond is one of Ottawa south’s most fashionable communities.
Richmond was established in 1818 as a military settlement, on the Jock River, a small tributary of the Rideau River. It was incorporated as a village in 1850 and annexed by Goulbourn Township in 1974. Since 2001, it has been considered a suburb within the City of Ottawa.
There are many beautiful historical buildings that have been well maintained, such as St. Philip’s Church, the oldest church in the Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa. Plenty of scenic views and room to roam make Richmond an outdoor enthusiast haven. Sports associations in Richmond include soccer, softball, curling, ice hockey, and euchre, among others. A great place to live!
