On the banks of the Brazos River, the "sister" cities of Richmond and Rosenberg claim a Spanish ranch as their roots.  These rural communities attract newcomers looking for a relaxed atmosphere and significant return on their housing dollar.  The housing selection ranges from attractive starter homes to handsome master-planned subdivisions. Richmond is a friendly town rich in Texas History and Western Culture and serves as the county seat.  The city takes pride in its historic treasures, including the award-winning Fort Bend Museum with its collection of restored homes.  Richmond is the home of Oak Bend Medical Center, a state of the art health care facility, and also home to The George Memorial Library, of one of the finest libraries in the state of Texas.
