Population
Here’s some cool information and fun facts about Richland, Washington.
Hundreds of years ago aboriginal tribes fished for salmon in the Yakima River. The area was later discovered during an expedition by Lewis and Clark’s William Clark. In 1906 the town was approved and 4 years later the city was born. WW II brought the US Army to the area to buy up land for an employee community serving the nuclear facility nearby. After the war the plant closed and two years later the Cold War got it up and running again. Richland residents worked at the facility as it switched from a nuclear plant to a weapons manufacturer. The army owned housing went on the market and sold to families wanting to reside in Richland and the city grew.
Today, the total population of this historic American city is 58,225 people.
