ADT-Monitored Home Security Service in Richmond, MA

Richmond is a town in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, United States. It is portion of the Pittsfield, Massachusetts Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 1,407 at the 2020 census.

Present daylight Richmond was first settled by Micah Mudge and Ichabod Wood in 1759. Mudge migrated taking place to Richmond from Connecticut via the Housatonic River, while Wood came from Rehoboth on the eastern seaboard. It is thought that the two did not make right to use until after the first winter, as their initial settlements were at odds by about three miles of dense wilderness.

By 1762, as settlers continued to migrate to the area, Massachusetts was putting pressure on committees to organize whatever unmarked house into townships. Under The Act of 1762, the estate encompassing present day Richmond, MA and Lenox, MA was purchased from two Indian Sachems named Yokun and Ephraim. Two sure villages began to form, separated by the six-mile mountain ridge known today as Yokun Ridge—Yokuntown to the east and Mt. Ephraim to the west.
