Welcome to Richmond, Utah! We're located in the northern part of the state in beautiful Cache Valley. A rural community of 2300 people, we take pride in our agricultural roots. Our biggest celebration is Black & White Days, the longest running Holstein dairy show west of the Mississippi River. In addition to the cattle show, we also have a Chuckwagon Breakfast (cooked and served by the City Council), a horse show, and a footrace; the celebration ends with an old-fashioned horse pull Saturday night. Black & White Days are held the third week of May; click here for more information.
But that’s not all there is to our little town. We’re home to a number of award-winning businesses and thriving home enterprises. With the expansion of Highway 91 in 2006, we are seeing an increase in population and upgrading of our infrastructure. Come visit us and see why we're proud of our community!

Attention, Richmond Irrigation Members
The Richmond Irrigation Company asked us to let their members living within the City limits know that new irrigation hours have been set, effective July 17th. Even numbered residences may water from 7 a.m. Saturday until 7 a.m. Sunday. Odd numbered may water from 7 a.m. Sunday until 7 a.m. Monday. Each stockholder is allowed one sprinkler 7/32” or less per share of stock (one share, one sprinkler head). Field turns are controlled by the Water Master, Brook Skidmore (881-1254).
Playground, Phase 1
>
The first phase of the new playground area in the park has been completed. Thanks to all who helped! The equipment has been installed and concrete poured in the footings. Decks have been leveled and the slides adjusted to the proper clearance. BUT IT'S NOT READY TO PLAY ON JUST YET!!
All connections have to be tightened and tensions adjusted. A retaining wall needs to be installed and the site roughly leveled. Then a foot-thick layer of mulch will be spread. A fence and sidewalk will be put in as well as the "Welcome" sign.
So kids, please be patient just a bit longer. It'll be ready for full use later this summer.
Richmond Harvest Market at Rockhill
A farmer's market held on a farm?? Yes, it's true! Come visit the market, held at Rockhill Dairy (563 South State Street) every Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm.
