Richmond County, County in Northern Neck, Virginia, US.
Richmond County is an administrative area in Virginia's Northern Neck peninsula, extending across land and water along the Rappahannock River. The region contains several rural communities connected by state and federal highways that link local towns and provide passage through the area.
The area came into existence in 1692 following a division of the original Rappahannock County, with Warsaw established as its administrative center. This early founding shaped the administrative structures that define the region's organization today.
The area has a strong connection to traditional music that comes alive through local festivals and community gatherings. Musicians and visitors participate in these events at historic venues, keeping regional musical traditions alive and visible to outsiders.
The area is well served by several main roads that connect it to neighboring regions and make exploring different communities feasible. The rural nature of the area means visitors should plan travel time accordingly when moving between locations.
