A part of the Bangalore Cantonment area, Richmond Town was established during British rule in 1883. During the period, the area mainly consisted of British residents, Anglo Indians, Muslim traders from Persia and Parsis. Like Kadamba Nagara, Sri Krishnaraja Wadiyar Nagara and Langford Town, this area was known for its colonial design.[3]

In recent years, the locality has seen modernization and increase in real estate demand. Important landmarks in Richmond Town include Bangalore Hockey Stadium and Johnson Market.[4][5]
