Richmond is a town situated on the banks of the upper Lovu River in the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

He even donated L100 to Pietermaritzburg's Anglican minister, the Revd James Green, to be used towards the construction of a church in their new settlement.

The arrival of the settlers brought about a slow return of various remnants of African people who fled the raiding Zulu armies.

In February 1906 two British officers were killed at Byrne, near Richmond while involved in enforcing the collection of the hated Poll Tax from "recalcitrant districts".

One of Natal's greatest tycoons, Joseph Baynes, a Yorkshireman by birth, was a pioneer of the dairy industry.
