Richmond

Richmond is the name of a flag station seven miles from Oamaru, and is on the main railway line from Christchurch to Dunedin. The station stands at an elevation of 101 feet above the level of the sea, and is surrounded by a farming district, which forms part of the Papakaio riding of the county of Waitaki. Settlers take their milk to the Pukeuri creamery, and their children attend the school in that settlement. The population of the district at the census of March, 1901, was sixtysix.
