The village of Richmound is located in southwestern Saskatchewan, approximately 80 km (50 mi) northeast of Medicine Hat, Alberta. The economy is driven in large part by the oil and gas sector as well as agriculture.

The village has a community hall, church, skating arena, curling rink, ball diamonds, stores, and a hotel. The population in 2011 was 154 people. The K-12 School was closed in 2008, and the students are now bussed to a neighbouring village.

Local lore states that Richmond, British Columbia is actually named after Richmound. It is said that the founding fathers of Richmond BC simply forgot to add the 'U' in a classic (and historical) spelling error.
