Living in Richmond Hill, Georgia
Richmond Hill’s modern identity traces back to the 1930s, when auto industrialist Henry Ford purchased thousands of acres along the Ogeechee River and built homes, schools, sawmills, and a hospital for local workers. After Ford’s death, the town was renamed Richmond Hill in his honor in 1941. Today it’s a thriving Bryan County community known for its riverfront setting, top-rated schools, and family-friendly pace of life.
