Richland, also known as Richvale, was once a small community in Butte County, California. Today, it is considered a "former settlement." This means it is no longer an active town or village where many people live and work.

What Was Richland?

Richland was a place where people used to live. It was a small community that, over time, became inactive. Many small settlements can become "former" if industries change or people move to bigger cities for new opportunities.

Where Was Richland Located?

Richland was found in Butte County, California. It was about 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) east-southeast of a town called Biggs. The area is about 102 feet (31 meters) above sea level. Maps from 1912 still showed Richland in its original spot. However, by 1952, its location on maps had shifted about half a mile (0.8 kilometers) to the west.
