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!
Playtime!
The playground is open for FUN! The special mulch was put in place and a final tightening of all the nuts, bolts, and tie-downs was done. The area around the outer perimeter has been smoothed out and will be landscaped in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, ENJOY!!
We plan to put in several benches near the playground. If you or your business would like to donate a bench, please contact council members Brad Jensen (258-2237) or Terrie Wierenga (258-3777).

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. Fresh produce, farm eggs, home-cooked products, and hand-crafted items are available from a variety of vendors. And then there's the cheese stand offering delicous Rockhill Cheeses, Crumb Brothers breads, Bees Brothers honey, and more. Visit the website for more information.
This Saturday (September 4th) our featured vendors are Jack & Julie Carlisle with their wood-fired pizza oven. They'll be whipping up some tasty treats with the goodies you buy at the market.
The Harvest Market runs through October 16.
Richmond History Book
Richmond: A History in Black and White was published last year. From its beginnings in a hostile frontier environment to its present as a prosperous Cache County town, Richmond has had an exciting history. In this scholarly and readable book Marlin Stum takes the reader on a historical tour through the story of Richmond. Using a wide variety of sources Stum covers the famous, and not so famous, events in the history of this northern Utah community. This straightforward "black and white" history captures the story of Richmond's past, while pointing to its bright and colorful future.
