Richmond, Virginia (a significant portion now renamed under the banner of New Richmond by a large community of survivors maintaining control within the city following the apocalypse) is the former capital of Virginia. Before the apocalypse, it was the fourth-largest city in Virginia and housed over 200,000 people, with a metropolitan area of over 1,000,000.
History[]
Richmond was the capital of Virginia. It was founded in 1737.
Post-Apocalypse[]
At some point early on during the apocalypse, a large group of survivors, presumably Richmond's former residents for the most part, created a large survivor community within a sectioned-off portion of the city's streets, referring to themselves as just simply "Richmond".
Around three years after the outbreak, a large military-style group known as "The New Frontier" peacefully took over the aforementioned community of survivors, providing armed protection in exchange for living together within the safety of their walls and being allowed to establish a headquarters there. The New Frontier's leading members renamed the community, and by association, a large section of the city itself as "New Richmond", likely to mark the two groups uniting. The New Frontier now continue to take charge of managing the formerly named community of "Richmond" and its people.
Magna and her group had been in through the community of "Richmond" at one point prior to finding Alexandria, though it is assumed they left some time before the New Frontier arrived.
