Richmond County is a county located in the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 200,549.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/13/13245.html )〕 It is one of the original counties of Georgia, created February 5, 1777. Following an election in 1995, the city of Augusta (the county seat) consolidated governments with Richmond County. The consolidated entity is known as Augusta-Richmond County, or simply Augusta. The cities of Hephzibah and Blythe in southern Richmond County voted to remain separate and not consolidate. Richmond County is included in the Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC Metropolitan Statistical Area. ==History== The county is named for Charles Lennox, 3rd Duke of Richmond, a British politician and office-holder sympathetic to the cause of the American colonies. Richmond was also a first cousin to King George III. Richmond County was established in 1777 by the first Constitution of the (newly independent) State of Georgia. As such, it is one of the original counties of the state. It was formed out of a portion of the colonial Parish of St. Paul, after the Revolution disestablished the Church of England in the (former) Royal Province of Georgia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richmond County, Georgia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
