Richmond in Context
Richmond by the Numbers
Richmond is a city in western Contra Costa County with roughly 115,000 residents, set on a peninsula along the East Bay shoreline. It holds a major refinery, miles of waterfront, the historic Point Richmond district, and the eastern landing of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
The Richmond Story
Richmond boomed during the Second World War, when the Kaiser Shipyards built Liberty ships and drew workers from across the country, a story now told at the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park. Point Richmond keeps its early-1900s character, the shoreline has become parkland and trails, and the city remains diverse and industrious. Industry and the bay have shaped it throughout.
What Moving Day Looks Like in Richmond
A Richmond move ranges from flat shoreline and downtown streets to the hillside neighborhoods and historic Point Richmond, where older homes and tighter lanes need planning. We time around industrial areas and bridge traffic, and protect period homes carefully. The grid in the flats keeps most carries straightforward.
Near the refinery and port corridors, crews time the drive around shift changes and truck traffic so the schedule holds. In Point Richmond and the older hill blocks, we plan parking and carries for narrow, historic streets.
