Richmond County was formed in 1692 upon the abolition of (Old) Rappahannock County. The new county comprised the territory east of the Rappahannock River and was named either for the borough of Richmond, Surrey, England, or for the late-seventeenth-century Duke of Richmond. In 1721 King George County was cut off from the northern part of Richmond.
Most of Richmond's records are extant, with the exception of its marriage records, which are very irregular until 1853.
