Richmond is most commonly known as Honeoye, because Honeoye Lake is in our town. Richmond is less than one hour south of Rochester and about 30 minutes southwest of Canandaigua. Our population is about 3,500 and growing. Honeoye Lake has a tremendous warm water fishery that includes bass, walleye, perch, and panfish. The availability of public water, public sewer, and natural gas service have helped attract industries interested in a skilled workforce and a small community atmosphere.
Agriculture is the largest industry in our county and also a significant part of our town.
The Town of Richmond offers an adult and youth recreation program that is unique in the area. The year round program offers an enormous variety of programs for all age ranges. The Town owns the Sandy Bottom Park at the north end of Honeoye Lake that includes a sandy beach for public swimming, playground, nature trail, and other recreational activities. Richmond is a diverse community offering industrial, commercial, agricultural, lake side, rural, and recreational opportunities.
