About our region Richmond is 24 km from Hobart and was settled in about 1824 and the town grew as it became a natural overnight stopping place for people enroute to the East Coast of Tasmania. Today you could be forgiven for thinking you had stepped back in time, as Richmond is littered with historic buildings dating back to the period of the 1800s. A charming village that has captialised from its uniqueness and is renowned as Australias finest Georgian village it has captured the tourist market and would be the main feature driving the local economy.
Its close proximity to Hobart does result with many people choosing to reside in Richmond because of the relaxing residential lifestyle and community pride and commute to Hobart for work.
