History
In 1864, the city of Richfield was first settled by just ten men. They named it “Big Springs” or “Warm Springs” after the life-giving spring they found at the foot of the red hills. However, the city’s name was eventually changed to Richfield as a way of honoring the area’s fertile soil.
Thanks to the development of businesses, hotels, restaurants, railroad services, and other amenities, the city has grown into a thriving shopping and cultural hub. Travelers now come from all over to experience Richfield’s unique cultural sites and outdoor attractions.
Things To Do
Richfield visitors usually spend their time exploring historic Main Street’s local shops, hotels, and eateries. However, there are plenty of outdoor adventures to be had just beyond its borders. This vibrant city is surrounded by thrilling hiking opportunities, fishing, natural hot springs, and one of the country’s best ATV trails, the Paiute.
Locals love to spend their time enjoying Richfield’s many parks, shopping their way through downtown, and exploring the rugged outdoors.
