HistoryOriginally settled by colonists from New England, Montreal and the Richelieu River valley circa 1798, Richmond is considered to be one of the oldest settlements in the former region of the Eastern Townships. Richmond grew in importance during the 1800s when it became a key railway junction. The St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad opened between Montreal and Portland, Maine, on April 4, 1853 and was purchased four months later and absorbed into the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR)'s system. Two years later, the GTR opened a line from the mainline in Richmond northeast to Lévis to connect Montreal with Quebec City. The line was eventually extended further east to Rivière-du-Loup and a connection with the Intercolonial Railway, which operated trains on the GTR through Richmond to Montreal until 1897. The town itself was first called Richmond in 1820, when a post office was inaugurated. By the 1860s Richmond was an important centre, with a college, literary institute and a public library. Richmond's importance has waned since the 1930s, however, as the railways have also come to play a lesser role in the economy. The GTR was absorbed into the Canadian National Railways (CNR) and the line to Levis was abandoned in favour of more direct lines from Montreal to Quebec City. In 1989, CNR sold the entire railway line from Montreal to Portland, via Richmond, to a short line operator. Richmond todayRichmond as it exists today was created on December 29, 1999 following the merger of the "old" town of Richmond on the right bank of the Saint-François and the village of Melbourne, located on the other side. Origin of the name RichmondThe name Richmond is in memory of Charles Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond and Lennox (1764–1819), Governor General of Upper Canada from 1818 to 1819. Origin of the name MelbourneThe origin of the name Melbourne is uncertain, but the village is believed to have been named for Melbourne, Derbyshire or Melbourne, Hampshire. ClimateRichmond has a humid continental climate[2] typical of southern Quebec. Precipitation is high year-round, resulting in warm and rainy summers as well as cold and snowy winters. There is a significant temperature difference between seasons as typical of the North American interior, with {{convert|25.8|C|F}} as July high and {{convert|-4.9|C|F}} as the high for January.[3] {{Weather box|location = Richmond|metric first = Yes |single line = Yes |Jan record high C = 17.0 |Feb record high C = 17.5 |Mar record high C = 25.0 |Apr record high C = 30.6 |May record high C = 32.2 |Jun record high C = 35.0 |Jul record high C = 37.2 |Aug record high C = 36.1 |Sep record high C = 33.9 |Oct record high C = 29.4 |Nov record high C = 23.9 |Dec record high C = 18.9 |year record high C = 37.2 |Jan high C = -4.9 |Feb high C = -2.7 |Mar high C = 2.9 |Apr high C = 11.4 |May high C = 18.6 |Jun high C = 23.2 |Jul high C = 25.8 |Aug high C = 24.4 |Sep high C = 19.4 |Oct high C = 12.6 |Nov high C = 5.3 |Dec high C = -1.7 |year high C = 11.2 |Jan mean C = -10.3 |Feb mean C = -8.7 |Mar mean C = -2.8 |Apr mean C = 5.7 |May mean C = 12.2 |Jun mean C = 16.9 |Jul mean C = 19.7 |Aug mean C = 18.4 |Sep mean C = 13.6 |Oct mean C = 7.4 |Nov mean C = 1.3 |Dec mean C = -6.4 |year mean C = 5.6 |Jan low C = -15.8 |Feb low C = -14.6 |Mar low C = -8.5 |Apr low C = 0.0 |May low C = 5.7 |Jun low C = 10.6 |Jul low C = 13.5 |Aug low C = 12.4 |Sep low C = 7.8 |Oct low C = 2.2 |Nov low C = -2.8 |Dec low C = -11.0 |year low C = -0.1 |Jan record low C = -44.4 |Feb record low C = -43.9 |Mar record low C = -40.0 |Apr record low C = -20.6 |May record low C = -6.7 |Jun record low C = -3.9 |Jul record low C = 0.6 |Aug record low C = -1.1 |Sep record low C = -8.9 |Oct record low C = -11.1 |Nov record low C = -26.7 |Dec record low C = -44.4 |year record low C = -44.4 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 60.8 |Feb precipitation mm = 54.4 |Mar precipitation mm = 62.2 |Apr precipitation mm = 74.6 |May precipitation mm = 93.2 |Jun precipitation mm = 96.8 |Jul precipitation mm = 107.4 |Aug precipitation mm = 120.7 |Sep precipitation mm = 84.2 |Oct precipitation mm = 86.2 |Nov precipitation mm = 80.6 |Dec precipitation mm = 71.5 |year precipitation mm = 992.6 |Jan snow cm = 45 |Feb snow cm = 39.5 |Mar snow cm = 29.7 |Apr snow cm = 10 |May snow cm = 0 |Jun snow cm = 0 |Jul snow cm = 0 |Aug snow cm = 0 |Sep snow cm = 0 |Oct snow cm = 1.1 |Nov snow cm = 15.5 |Dec snow cm = 43.1 |year snow cm = 184 |source 1 = [4] }} DemographicsPopulation{{Historical populations|width=60%| title= Historical Census Data - Richmond, Quebec[5] | percentages = | shading = off | align = none | cols = 3 | 1991 |3123 | 1996 |3053 | 1999A |3584 | 2001 |3424 | 2006 |3336 | 2011 |3275 | footnote = {{center|(A) adjusted figure due to amalgamation of the village of Melbourne and the town of Richmond on December 29, 1999.}} }} LanguageMother tongue (2011)
