Title	Richland, Missouri Depot
Creator	Allen Johnson
Publisher	Springfield-Greene County Library
Description	The railroad depot at Richland, Missouri used by the St. Louis - San Francisco Railway Company. Richland is the most robust child of the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway in the county, and proudly bears the title of a city of the fourth class, the only city or incorporated town in the county, (1889). It was laid out on railway land by M. Santee, a surveyor, and located near the western boundary of the county, in the fall of 1869. The plat was made on both sides of the railway, and the officials of the railway named it in honor of General Lyon. The petition for a post-office brought to light the fact of another Missouri point bearing that name, and at the suggestions of Rev. (now) J. A. Bradshaw and Capt. L. Withaup, a name was found to honor Mr. G. W. Rich, a director of the old Atlantic and Pacific Railway. (--State of Missouri, History of Pulaski Co., pp. 137-138.) Richland on the A. & P. R. R., 13 miles southwest of Crocker, built in 1870 has about 500 inhabitants, and is one of the most flourishing villages in the county. The Richland Institute, the best school in the county is located here, and owns a substantial two-story building furnished in modern style. The Christians, Methodists and Baptists have organizations, but as yet no buildings. There are 7 stores, 1 hotel and 1 newspaper. (--Gazetteer of Missouri, (1874), p. 457.)
