Richmond is an inner urban suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It is located on Kaurna land in the City of West Torrens.
History
Settlement of the area dates from the late 1830s with land used mainly for farming. Residential and industrial growth took place from the late 19th century into the early 20th century. Expansion continued in the interwar period. The most significant development occurred during the post-war years. The population increased marginally between 2001 and 2006, a result of new dwellings being added to the area.
It was named after the first farm that was established in the area in 1839, owned by Charles Gooch. A subdivision on 1842 of the surrounding area was called “The Village of Richmond”.
“Richmond Park”, the racehorse stud owned by James Henry Aldridge at the end of Richmond Road is now part of Adelaide Airport.
