               Historic Richland

First settled in 1827, Richland was named for the 
Home district of several pioneer families from
South Carolina. The community became a busy
Railroad junction when the Savanna, Americus
And Montgomery, and the Columbus Southern
Rail lines met here in 1889. Richland was Incor-
Porated in 1890. By 1913, the city had 3 banks, 3
Hotels, 25 stores, guano factory, cotton seed oil
Mill, Coco Cola bottling plant and other ebterprises.
The older part of the city is a historic district
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places
As significant in areas of city planning, trans-
Portation, architecture and social history.
