Welcome to Richmond, Kentucky located in the heart of Madison County AND the heart of the Bluegrass State. You will find Richmond, the county seat of Madison County, to be a unique blend of small town warmth and security while still having access to the advantages of a big city.
Richmond is located 26 miles south of Lexington, Horse Capital of the World, and 110 miles southeast of Louisville, home of Churchill Downs.
There is so much growth and expansion going on in Madison County, in particular in Richmond. With the expansion of Madison Airport, the Town & Gown partnership with EKU’s dedication to initiate growth in Richmond, and the efforts of our Industrial Development Corporation, as well as the Urban Renewal and Development and Economic Development Committees at the Richmond Chamber, there are great changes ahead!
