“Richmond no longer is the little village that began in 1733.  The major gateway to the deep South in the fountainhead and core of one of the fastest growing areas along the East Coast.
It is the capital of the state’s government;  a locus of finance, business and manufacturing; the roadbed for four major railroads and three interstate highways; an agriculture market and trucking centre; an oasis of learning and scholarship, and a fertile ground for the arts and culture.
A combination of family heritage, history and geography, gives Richmond the character and uniqueness that makes it more than just another city.
Approaching its 200^th anniversary in 1982, Richmond looks out on the future with hope, proud of its past, sure of its present.
This is Richmond today.”
