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.
