Richmond, OH

Richmond is a village in Jefferson County, Ohio, laid out in 1815 and served by a post office since 1817. It sits in the northern part of the county within the Weirton-Steubenville metropolitan area, with the village's roads connecting to the surrounding farm country and neighboring communities. The Edison Local School District includes Richmond among the villages and rural areas it serves, and Edison High School stands in Richmond.

The village also has a Civil War-era connection: Confederate general John Hunt Morgan passed through Richmond during his 1863 raid into Ohio, before his defeat near Salineville. That episode sits alongside a much older settlement story built around the village plan and post office. Richmond's present-day map is compact, with the school campus and local streets supplying the clearest civic references. Its position in Jefferson County gives it a place in the Upper Ohio Valley orbit, while the 1815 layout and 1817 post office keep the village tied to the early nineteenth-century development of the county. Richmond is small in scale, but its map carries school, settlement, and wartime history together.
