Richmond is an unincorporated community in Wheeler County, in the U.S. state of Oregon.

[1] R. N. Donnelly gave the community its name in response to an argument with another pioneer resident, William Walters, about where to build a school.

Donnelly named the site "Richmond" after the capital city of the Confederacy.

[1] Buildings in Richmond included the school, a store, a Methodist Church, an Independent Order of Odd Fellows hall, and several homes, all later abandoned.

In 1901 nearly 450 people attended the annual meeting of the Wheeler County Pioneer Association in Richmond.
