About CityOfRichField.org
Long before suburban homes were built here, Richfield was characterized by its abundance of rich farmland (hence the name) as the Minneapolis and St. Paul area was beginning to grow. In 1908, Richfield officially became a city by adopting a President/Trustee form of government. However, residents of Richfield held town meetings dating back to May 11, 1858 -- the date on which Congress admitted Minnesota into the Union. Richfield experienced a population boom following World War II.
