Richmond NH Community Profile & History
Richmond, New Hampshire first granted in 1735 to soldiers returning from the war in Canada, was named Sylvester Canada in honor of Capt. Joseph Sylvester of Scituate, Mass., who was killed in 1690 during an attempt to capture Quebec. At first it was conisdered part of Massachusetts. The boundary was changed by the king of England, placing the area in New Hampshire, and the area was regranted in 1752.
It was renamed Richmond in honor of Charles Lennox, Duke of Richmond, a friend of then Gov. Benning Wentworth. Hosea Ballou lived in Richmond; he was a leading 19th-century champion of religious liberalism and is considered the father of Universalism in the United States. Eliza Ballou Garfield, mother of the 20th president of the United States, James A. Garfield, was born here.
At the center of town, called Richmond Four Corners, is a brick Greek revival-style church built in 1837. Nearby is Veterans Hall, the town meeting hall. The town has retained its quiet rural character while growing in popularity as a residential community. Since 1921, it has been home to the Cheshire County YMCA's Camp Takodah.
