West Richland is a city located just west of Richland, in Benton County, in the U.S. state of Washington. It is currently home to a population of over 11,800 residents and is grouped into the Tri Cities Metropolitan Statistical Area, one of the largest metro areas in the state. Like most cities in the Tri Cities area, West Richland was formed near the turn of the 20th century and incorporated after Benton County was formed. It was mostly agricultural until World War II brought growth to the area, and it has been slowly growing ever since. West Richland grew during World War II thanks to people who were “chafing” under U.S. government rule in Richland, which had been taken over for use by the government and military for the Manhattan Project. Today, West Richland is still in the shadow of its eastern neighbor and namesake, though it is still growing slowly.
