Richmond ky Wedding

Richmond is the 6th largest city in Kentucky and the county seat of Madison County. It was named after Richmond, Virginia. In 2004, the city population was 30,008. By 2010 it is expected to have a population of 34,292. It is home to Eastern Kentucky University.

The City of Richmond was founded in the year of 1798, by Colonel John Miller, who was active in the Revolutionary War as a soldier. This same year, the county seat was moved from Milford to Richmond, which was the area owned by the Colonel at the time.

This caused numerous fights between residents of Milford, and the county and residents of Richmond who adamantly opposed the move. This resulted in a duel between Dave Kennedy and William Kearly (represented Richmond).

These fights' results were never recorded, but based on the fact that the county seat was changed to Richmond, it can be assumed that Richmond did in fact win. The name was officially given to the community in 1798 in honor of Miller's birthplace, Richmond, Virginia.

Richmond is located at 374441N, 841737W (37.744720, -84.293562)GR1.
