==History==
New Richmond was founded in 1857. In August 2007, the town celebrated its sesquicentennial. The town was named after Richmond Day, the land surveyor responsible for plotting the town. With it being the second town in Wisconsin to take the name Richmond, the name was altered to New Richmond.
On June 12, 1899, a deadly F5 tornado struck New Richmond.〔( ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel''. )〕 The tornado destroyed a large portion of the town, primarily Main Street and New Richmond's east side, killing 117 and injuring 125 people. To this day it stands as the ninth deadliest tornado in United States history, according to the National Storm Prediction Center.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/killers.html )〕 Most of Main Street (Knowles Avenue) was rebuilt within five months.〔''New Richmond, Wisconsin - The First 150 Years - 1857-2007''.
