Henry Tudor claimed the title indisputably in 1485. Then he went on to win the Battle of Bosworth Field to effectively end the War of the Roses, becoming King Henry VII of England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry VII moved to the royal palace of Sheen outside of London. It burned down in 1498 so he replaced Sheen with a new palace on the same spot. He called it Richmond Palace (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/CY1doAhqZZADppfW9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>) after his Earldom. Very little of Richmond Palace survived besides its original Gate House.

They <a href=\"https:\/\/www.encyclopediavirginia.org\/richmond_during_the_colonial_period\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">focused their settlements<\/a> along the James River. They brought familiar place names with them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;As early as 1608, the English settlers eyed a community near the seven-mile-long series of rapids that divided the head of navigation at the river&#8217;s downstream end and the calm stretch of water upriver from it. The area provided a series of strategic advantages: as a port, as a location for mills, and as a transitional territory between the Tidewater-based Powhatan Indians and the Monacan Indians of the Piedmont.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It took more than a century for a town of significance to form along the James River&#8217;s fall line. A prominent colonial plantation owner, William Byrd II, provided the necessary land in 1737. He named it Richmond (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/JLKW3oX6VYCjUBAV9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). The view of the James River supposedly <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Richmond,_Virginia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reminded him<\/a> of the view of the Thames from the Richmond near London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Richmond, California<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/69214385@N04\/14031573887\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/2927\/14031573887_7e1d04291e_b.jpg\" alt=\"Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.

It also served as the capital city of the Confederate States. Its longevity and significance inspired people to name newer communities in its honor. Thus, various Richmonds sprouted successfully in Kentucky, Missouri, Oregon, California and many other states. The one in California arose <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Richmond,_California\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">soon after California gained statehood<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;[Edmund] Randolph, originally from Richmond, Virginia, represented the city of San Francisco when California&#8217;s first legislature met in San Jose in December 1849, and he became state assemblyman from San Francisco. His loyalty to the town of his birth caused him to persuade a federal surveying party mapping the San Francisco Bay to place the names &#8216;Point Richmond&#8217; and &#8216;Richmond&#8217; on an 1854 geodetic coast map.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Several Neighborhoods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>California&#8217;s Richmond later included <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_Richmond,_California_neighborhoods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">several neighborhoods<\/a> incorporating the Richmond name. These included Central Richmond, East Richmond, Richmond Annex, Richmond Heights, and Southwest Richmond Annex.
