Richardson is an unincorporated community in Calhoun County, West Virginia, United States.

The village boomed c.1900, an event linked to oil and gas discovery.

The community had a water mill on the West Fork of the Little Kanawha, as well as a church, general stores, a hotel, a barbershop, a shoemaker, a blacksmith shop, a doctor's office, drug store, a lumber dealer, and numerous livestock producers.

After the oil and gas boom came to the area in the early 1900s, drilling was followed by the construction of a large gas compressor station with company houses, and featured 20th century rejuvenation of the village.
