Richmond was a municipal borough in Surrey, England from 1890 to 1965. [1]
It was created in 1890 under a Royal Charter, covering the parish of Richmond St Mary Magdalene (which was alternatively known as Richmond or Sheen). [2] It was expanded in 1892 to cover Kew, Petersham and part of Mortlake. In 1933 it took in most of Ham, which had previously been a separate urban district.
The borough was abolished in 1965, becoming part of the larger London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in Greater London.
