Etymology
The word Richmond comes from an old English place name made of rich ('wealthy') and mont ('hill'), where mont is like the word mountain. People from England gave the same name to the Virginia town because the river view reminded them of Richmond in England, so today Richmond is the capital city of Virginia.
