Historical Maps of the Sauk River Watershed, Richmond and Cold Spring
Published 1896 - possibly 1880 - Wakefield Township including reference to Torah: The village layout directly beneath the text "TORAH P.O." gives away the date. While the town was platted as Richmond in 1856, it was incorporated under the name Torah in 1890 to avoid confusion with another post office in southern Minnesota. The post office and train station used the name Torah until 1909, when it officially changed back to Richmond.
