Richmond is a town near Sydney, Australia located on the alluvial Hawkesbury River flats at the foot of the Blue Mountains. It is in the City of Hawkesbury Local Government Area. It is 19 metres above sea-level. It is 53 km in a direct line, and about 65 km by road from Sydney. It is adjacent to Windsor. The Darug people were the local people in 1788. The area was originally explored in 1789 and was known by the colonialists as Richmond Hill. This name was given by Governor Phillip, in honour of Charles Lennox, the third Duke of Richmond who was Master General of Ordnance in the Pitt administration. The local area is the third area to have European settlement in Australia after Sydney and Parramatta. The first 22 settlers came to the area was settled in 1794. They came to farm a total of 30 acres (121,000 m²) in modern day Pitt Town Bottoms to help overcome the desperate need for good farming land and food in the new colony. By 1799 this region was producing about half the grain produced in the colony.
