By 1644, construction of Fort Charles began attracting many new settlers to the area and soon the community grew into a bustling trading post for furs, hides and tobacco. Richmond was founded in 1737 by Colonel William Byrd II. Byrd inherited land on the north and south sides of the James River and was known as the “Father of Richmond.” In 1741, Byrd and his friend William Mayo developed a map of Richmond and the first lots were sold. Richmond became incorporated as a town in 1742 with a population of 250. In early 1780, the State Capitol was temporarily moved to Richmond from Williamsburg. The Virginia General Assembly was looking for a central location with more protection from British invasions. In May 1782, eight months after the British surrendered at Yorktown, Richmond became the new capital of Virginia. On July 19, 1782, Richmond’s City Charter was adopted. While evidence of a rich history is evident throughout the capital city, Richmond is proud to offer modern-day opportunities to its estimated 204,000 citizens (Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service). Throughout its 62.5 square miles, the City offers a diversified employment base that extends from chemical, food and tobacco manufacturing to banking, biotechnology, semiconductors and high-tech fibers. Richmond consistently ranks among “Best Places to Live and Work in America” in several national publications. While offering easy access to the ocean, mountains and Washington, D.C., Richmond features a broad array of local attractions, including several museums, numerous sports and entertainment venues, outdoor pursuits throughout one of the nation’s largest river park systems, a vast array of historic landmarks, its own symphony, professional ballet and opera, as well as several prominent universities. The City of Richmond continues to grow and look toward the future. With Mayor Dwight C. Jones’ plan, “Building The Best Richmond,” as the guideline for future growth, Richmond can look forward to improving the lives of its citizens by making advances in early childhood development, child and adolescent healthcare, school success, increased efficiency and coordination, youth and family success, public safety, neighborhoods, transportation and economic vitality.

This submission represents the City’s financial plan and was developed to reflect the core principles that guide my Administration including economic development and job creation; support for public education; public safety; unique, healthy, inclusive neighborhoods and communities; poverty mitigation and the provision of good government services. My fiscal plan is balanced and all expenditures are in line with current revenue projections. The budget provides full funding for legal requirements and mandates, while also continuing to fund services and strategic priorities. This budget funds programs and initiatives to provide for the most vulnerable Richmonders, invests in our neighborhoods, and promotes efficiencies and savings by leveraging existing resources, and limits increases in the cost of services. This budget adheres to many aspects of the changes made by City Council to my Proposed FY2016/2017 Biennial Budget last year. Total General Fund revenues are projected at $709,152,771 for FY17. This represents a 2.9% growth over the FY2016 Adopted Budget, and a 1.3% growth over the FY2017 Approved Budget. Total Capital Improvement Plan (not including utilities) expenditures and revenues are projected at $68.71 million in FY17 and $155.7 million over 5 years. It is important to note that while commitments and obligations are growing at a faster rate than revenue, the Proposed Amendments to the Biennial Fiscal Plan for FY2017 do not include the use of the City’s unassigned fund balance. Specifically, we propose: Maintaining the $11.2 million General Fund increase for Richmond Public Schools – This includes the additional $9 million that City Council transferred from City Departments to RPS in the approved FY17 budget. Continued commitment to address police and fire pay range structure, which includes a step increase, career development, and base salary increases for police and fire recruits graduating from the academy, Funding of approximately $4.1 million for targeted, critical vacant positions. Vacancy funding is specifically allocated to the Finance, Fire and Emergency Services, Police, Sheriff, and Social Services Departments only. In order to provide a more detailed view of city service requirements, this budget includes the following line items: An allocation in line-item funding for the Leaf Collection Program of approximately $1,700,000. Funding for this service will be generated by the contribution from the CSO (Combined Sewer Overflow) and by raising the refuse rate by $2.50, from $17.50 to $20.00. An increased annual allotment for the Winter Storm special fund from $250,000 to $1,000,000. Increased funding to assist our Public Safety departments to assist in addressing minimum staffing requirements. Approximately $1.5 million will be reflected in increased overtime and related fringes for Police, Fire, and the Department of Emergency Communications. Funding of approximately $8.8 million in contractual and other non-discretionary items. Funding is required due to legal and/or contractual obligations or to secure State revenue streams. This fiscal plan reflects the constraints

Laurel Street Take a selfie (near the corner of Idlewood Avenue and Laurel Street). and tag us! @theValentineRVA WELCOME TO OREGON HILL The Oregon Hill Historic District extends from Cary Street to the James River and from Belvidere Street to Hollywood Cemetery and Linden Street. Oregon Hill’s name is said to have originated in the late 1850s, when a joke emerged that people who were moving into the area were so far from the center of Richmond that they might as well be moving to Oregon. By the mid-1900s, Oregon Hill was an insular neighborhood of white, blue-collar families and had a reputation as a rough area where outsiders and African-Americans, in particular, weren’t welcome. Today, Oregon Hill is home to two renowned restaurants and a racially and economically diverse population that includes long-time residents, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) students and people wanting to live in a historic part of Richmond. You’re standing in front of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, which began in 1873 as a Sunday school mission of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in downtown Richmond. The original church building, erected in 1875, was made of wood, but in 1901, it was replaced by this building. It is Gothic Revival in style, and the corner tower is 115 feet high. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

  • Richmond: Evolution of a City As Shown Through Maps at the Library of Virginia
    RICHMOND: EVOLUTION OF A CITY AS SHOWN THROUGH MAPS AT THE LIBRARY OF VIRGINIA The City of Richmond evolved from a trading post at Shockoe Creek to become Virginia’s capital city. In 1737 William Mayo, a friend of William Byrd II, completed his survey of the town of Richmond. His plan was one common to the Tidewater, a rectangular town design located east of Shockoe Creek. That year, Byrd held a lottery to sell off town lots. Mayo’s original plan included 112 numbered lots, 14 lots designated by letters, and two without any identification. Lots 97 and 98 were set aside for the Henrico Parish vestry, and St. John’s Church was erected on them in 1741. In 1742 Virginia’s General Assembly granted Richmond a town charter. Byrd’s son, William Byrd III, in debt and seeking a way to pay off his creditors, decided to hold a lottery in 1768 to sell additional lots west of Shockoe Creek. When Virginia’s capital moved from Williamsburg to Richmond in 1780, Shockoe Hill was chosen as the site for the new capitol building; it would look over the town of Richmond that had developed on flat land adjacent to the James River. Nine directors, one of whom was Thomas Jefferson, were appointed to plan Virginia’s new capital. Jefferson proposed a gridiron plan for Shockoe Hill that would set apart the platted portion of “Richmond Town” from the new capitol. There would be two major connecting streets, Main and Cary, and “Capitol Square” would consist of three buildings.

In the city of Richmond, Virginia the public school system indeed offered separate school houses for blacks and whites, but public schools for blacks were conducted in small, overcrowded, poorly equipped and unclean facilities. At the beginning of the twentieth century, public schools for black students in the city of Richmond did not change and would not for many decades.
