When Berks County was formed, Richmond became one of its first townships, named for a place in England by Quakers who were attracted by William Penn's promise of opportunity. Other early settlers came from Germany, France and Switzerland. Richmond became known for some of the finest farms in the county and it contained utilitarian mills. But iron ore figured most prominently in the township's development. The Moselem, Rothermel and Heffner mines were among the most productive of the 18th century and the Moselem Forge was in operation as early as 1767. [More Info]

A spotted lanternfly is an invasive insect that is native to Asia and was first discovered in the U.S. in 2014 in Pennsylvania. It belongs to the planthopper family and has a piercing-sucking mouthpart that feeds on sap from over 70 different plants, including some that are economically important. It can stress and damage the plants it feeds on and reduce the quality of life for people in infested areas. It has a distinctive appearance with tan, semi-transparent forewings, black spots, patches of red and black, and a white band and yellow and black abdomen.
