About North Richmond
Although located west of Richmond, was thought to have been named ‘North’ Richmond because it was north of Richmond Hill by Governor Phillip when traveling up the Hawkesbury River in 1789. A local landowner John Town established the “woolpack Inn” in 1833, on the higher ground of the river crossing. Later in 1874, the name was changed to “Travelers’ Rest”, which later inspired the North Richmond Hotel to be built next door in the 1940’s. The first wooden bridge was built across the Hawkesbury River to provide easier access in 1860, which was later redesigned in 1905 to concrete.

Approximately 67 Kilometers north-west of the Sydney central District, this humble suburb is a part of the City of Hawkesbury Council and is separated from Richmond to the south-east side of the Hawkesbury River.
