Richmond West is a census-designated place (CDP) in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States.

[5] It closed in 1916 when it and six other area one-room schoolhouses were consolidated into the Redland Farm Life School four miles to the south.

Although the depot has long since been demolished, the railroad line, now owned by Seaboard's successor CSX, remains.

[6] Nearly half of the financial loss happened at the neighboring Richmond Naval Air Station, where winds ignited a fire at three hangars, destroying 25 blimps, 366 planes and 150 automobiles.

The area remained mostly agricultural until the mid-1980s when several sub-developments and the Dadeland Mobile Home Park were built south of S.W.

In August 1992, Hurricane Andrew destroyed the mobile home park and devastated the surrounding area.

In subsequent years, the area was gradually rebuilt, and development proceeded southward to the community's southern border at Eureka Drive.

[9] It is bordered to the north by Country Walk, and Zoo Miami is in part of the square mile to the east.
