Richland Springs is a town located in San Saba County, Texas, United States.

Richland Springs developed in the nineteenth century as a supply and processing center for local cotton growers and cattlemen.

The area attracted settlers through the 1870s, and in 1877 a Richland Springs post office opened in the store of Samuel E. Hays.

By 1890, local production of cotton, grains, and livestock supported a settlement of 150 residents, including a justice of the peace precinct, a constabulary, and several commercial and craft businesses.

The number of businesses still had not returned to predepression levels when a three-year drought in the mid-1950s crippled the local economy again.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2), all land.

The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.

The Richland Springs Coyotes have appeared in 10 Texas state six-man football championships and have won nine of them.
