Historic Richmond

Like many areas of what now is the City of Ottawa, Richmond was founded by the British Army in 1818. The village was named after the Duke of Richmond, the newly appointed Governor-General of Upper Canada. Both Scottish and Irish soldiers were settled in Goulbourn and Beckwith. Richmond Road was built in 1818 by soldiers who had fought in the  War of 1812. Richmond homes were first built of local stone, and many can still be seen in the village. Richmond is famous for the story of The Duke and the Fox.  On August 26, 1819, the Duke visited the new community named in his honour. Earlier in Quebec, he had been bitten by a fox. He died on August 28, 1819.
