The name probably came from the English borough of Richmond upon Thames, which Byrd visited on several occasions.

It was incorporated as a town, although \"stiled the city of Richmond,\" in 1782 and was incorporated as a city in 1842. It served as the capital of the Confederacy from mid-1861 to April 1865. Richmond was enlarged by the annexation of Manchester (or South Richmond) in 1910, and by the addition of Barton Heights, Fairmount, and Highland Park in 1914.

Chancery Causes, 1783-1942, consists of cases concerning issues of equity brought largely by residents of the county and filed in the circuit court. These cases often involve the following actions: divisions of estates or land, disputes over wills, disputes regarding contracts, debt, divorce, and business disputes. Other less prevalent issues include freedom suits, permissions to sell property, and disputes concerning trespass. Predominant documents found in these chancery causes include bills (documents the plaintiff's complaint), answers (defendant's response to the plaintiff's complaint), decrees (court's decision), depositions, affidavits, correspondence, lists of heirs, deeds, plats, wills, records involving enslaved individuals, business records or vital statistics.\n","Pre-1812 causes often only contain a single document, usually a subpoena.","A number of the divorce suits brought forth by women involve adultery as the primary reason for divorce. Many of these suits include depositions which contain detailed information about local houses of ill fame, including their locations and the names of women who worked in the houses.","There is a substantial amount of information concerning enslaved Black men, women, and children. While there are several suits concerning the freedom of enslaved individuals, these cases largely represent the perspective of white enslavers and their disputes involving the sale, hiring, financial responsibilities, and legality of ownership of Black individuals. Specifically, there are many cases concerning estate disputes over enslaved individuals."," After the transatlantic slave trade ended in 1808, the domestic slave trade took its place.
