About the City of Richmond Hill

The City of Richmond Hill, located just north of the City of Toronto in York Region, has evolved from a rural 19th‑century settlement to a thriving, diverse urban community. Richmond Hill’s name is believed to derive from a line in the novel Charlotte Temple: “Richmond Hill” — reflecting the elevated landscape that offers scenic views and green spaces.

Incorporated as a village in 1872 and later as a town and finally a city in 2019, Richmond Hill’s growth has been shaped by its strategic location along Yonge Street, proximity to major transportation routes, and steady population increase. Today, the city is known for its quality of life, active community engagement, cultural institutions, and robust local economy.
